From: Harry van der Laan ?? Date: 2015-08-13 2:47 GMT+03:00 Subject: YERAC goes on, congratulations To: "yerac2015@venta.lv" Dear Colleagues, Greetings from the last of the yerac inventors, to the LOC, the SOC and all participants, from Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA˙ where the IAU has its General Assembly 2015. I wish you all an exciting conference and an extraordinary week in which to make friends and start crossborder science collaborations. Yerac has been amazingly effective for the dynamic of European radio astronomy, no bureaucracy, no office, no budget.... Only the simple set of rules dreamed up 49 years ago by Emil Blum, Peter Mezger and myself at NRAO, Charlottesville, VA, USA. I am glad you are continuing this series that is memorable for nearly every radio astronomer in Europe and the envy of colleagues elsewhere! Wish best wishes, Harry van der Laan PS Please be sure to designate the host for YERAC 2016. We missed three times in the years since Meudon YERAC 01 in 1968....
