[Richard T. Eger]

Dear Nick and Vince,

Thanks for your valuable assistance. I think, in general, I tend to think if info appears on Wikipedia, that it is likely to be correct. Perhaps it claimed Traun incorrectly. There are some photos of Rudi on Google. He appears to be a somewhat portly individual - thus my comments about a possible heart attack, which is pure conjecture on my part. I have interacted with Rudi over the last years and he has always been very helpful.

Vince, I went to the website that you mentioned, but could not find any contact information, which was very frustrating. You had better luck and I will try the e-mail address that you found. I'll let everyone know if I've been able to reach him.

Thanks to you both for your help. That's what TOCH! is all about, researchers helping fellow researchers. This is a great example.

Regards,
Richard
