Subject: Re: blagodarnost

It is with  deep regret that I must inform you of the death of Acad.
Bozhidar Vidoeski, in Skopje, on Saturday 16 May 1998.

All those wishing to express their sympathy and/or appreciation of what
Bozho meant to us can send e-mail to me, which I will forward in some
appropriate way.

If you would simply like your name to be added to a collective message of
condolence and appreciation that I plan to compose, you may so indicate in
an email.

Apparently there will be a memorial session of the Macedonian Academy of
Arts and Sciences held the Wedensday (20 May), so I ask that all those who
can do so act with the utmosat alacrity.  Please keep in mind, also that
Skopje time is 7 hours ahead of Chicago.

Since I do not have access to SEELANGS, I would appreciate it if one of you
who does would post this message.
