I have to let you know that Professor Gert v. Kortzfleisch, Professor Emeritus 
at Mannheim University (Germany) passed away on Tuesday, October 16.

Professor v. Kortzfleisch  was among the very first Europeans to study SD at 
M.I.T. He started teaching SD on a regular basis in Mannheim in 1968. A multitude 
of master theses and dissertations in SD were written under his supervision. 
Members of his former group include, among others, Erich Zahn, Peter Milling, 
Klaus Bellmann, and Peter Merten. Without him SD would not have reached its 
current status in Germany.

Being an active member of the Club of Rome, Gert v. Kortzfleisch was also very 
concerned about environmental issues and sustainability in economical development.
