sad news



Friends:
Maxima/GCL users:

  I heard from a colleague, and then
confirmed via Prof Robert Boyer at UTexas, that
Bill Schelter died.  The last message I saw,
sent from Russia, was dated July 26.


Here is the note I received from Bob Boyer...

....................

It is so very sad but true, Bill Schelter has died.

Bill went to Moscow, this summer, got married, and died of a heart
attack at
the end of July.  He was buried in Canada a few weeks ago.

His wife is named Olga Vodianikova, but I don't have an address for her.

His daughter can be reached at

  Mike and Karen Schelter Lewis
  1705 Autumn Fire Drive
  Cedar Park, TX 78613

His son Johh, a med student, can also be reached at that address.

>From what little I know, Prof. Michael Artin, artin@math.mit.edu, may be the
person most up-to-date on the details of the story.

Sincerely,

Bob Boyer
