[ATTW-L] Johndan Johnson-Eilola

[Stephen Bernhardt]

This makes me so sad. What a wonderful person, what an inventive mind, what
a delightful conversationalist, what a challenging intellect. I recall the
Potsdam meeting well--I think I was made Fellow at that meeting. I recall
good times in Socorro, too, with Johndan.

Stuart, I know how much his passing will affect you. I send my condolences
on your loss of a lifelong companion, friend, colleague.
