X-Message-Number: 3843 From: (Thomas Donaldson) Subject: Re: CryoNet #3826 - #3834 Date: Mon, 13 Feb 1995 17:30:19 -0800 (PST) About Isamu Suda: My information is out of date, since this happened years ago, but it may help others in searching. I visited Japan about 1978, and stopped by at Kobe University specifically to find and speak to Dr. Suda. At that time he had retired from research and become the President of Kobe University. He actually called in a photographer to take a photo of my wrist bracelet ... so in some sense the effect of his work on himself was not zero. I also read recently (just in the newspaper) that the U of Kobe had just gotten a new President. Whether that means that Suda died in office and was replaced, or simply retired, I don't know. But it may provide a start; if you are really interested, the simple thing to do is to write the President of U. of Kobe (there will probably be a delay, first because of English, and second because of the earthquake). If you want to spend a lot of money, a phone call would probably work; I will say, though, that even though a significant number of Japanese can READ English, their speaking ability isn't that good ... so your phone call may last for some time. Best and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3843
