Dear Prof. Nettl-Fiol,

I was unsuccessfully trying to reach your mother to express sadness and support on the departure of your dear father, so Phil Bohlman kindly provided me with your address. Heartfelt condolences to the whole family, while dear Bruno continues to live in our best memories. I was immensely glad to see him and praise him recently at the SEM Annual Meeting in Bloomington. My departmental colleagues remember well his visit in Ljubljana a decade ago. His lectures here and also later in Zagreb attracted colleagues from several ex-Yugoslav countries to come together...    

Tomorrow, my mother - if still alive - would be exactly 100 years old. She accompanied me while I was teaching at UIUC in 2006, and I vividly remember the kindness and friendship of your parents, which she treasured until the end of her life. Attached please find some nice visual memories from various times and places, including the most recent ones from Bloomington.

With warmest regards to the whole family from Slovenia.
