Dear Heiner,

I respectfully disagree. I always appreciate the chance to hear from anyone who knew the deceased better. They were a member of our community, and while sharing our memories of them will perhaps not make their śravaḥ akṣitam, it still seems the right thing to do. I met George at the World Sanskrit Conference in Kyoto, and still remember how friendly he was to me, even though back then I still was very new to the field.

If you feel there are too many emails on this list, perhaps consider signing up for the daily digest rather than the individual emails?

All my best,

    Antonia

Dear listmembers,

Just a small suggestion: to help reduce unnecessary email traffic (and save a little energy), it might be nice if condolences in response to obituary notices were sent directly to the original sender rather than to the entire mailing list.

Thank you for considering this.

Dear Colleagues

A colleague just let me know that George Thompson passed away last year. I'm not sure if this was broadcast last year, so my apologies if so. George was a long-time member of the AOS and a Vedic and Classical Sanskrit scholar.
