Dear colleagues, Robert Ledogar who recently passed away was my supervisor, teacher and mentor back in the 80' in Guatemala. I have written a short piece on how I remember Robert - and shared it with his niece Nancy. If you would seem appropriate to publish it in our newsletter, please go ahead. With best regards.
