Subject: [SLR-Mail] No. 1141: Matti Paunonen is away From: Markku Poutanen > ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2003-10-13 22:59:00 UTC Message No. 1141 ******************************************************************************** Author: Markku Poutanen Subject: Matti Paunonen is away It is my sad duty to announce to the SLR community, that Matti Paunonen suddenly passed away last month at the age of 60. His work at the Metsahovi observatory was abrubtly stopped and many of his plans and dreams were left unfinished. The FGI will continue Matti´s work at the Metsahovi SLR. However, to recover the situation will take a long time, and there will be less data and possibly some additional breaks in the near future. For any questions, comments or contacts concerning the Metsahovi SLR, please, contact me in the address below.
