Ki Kyong-li

Dear members,

our colleague Ki Kyong-il passed away on 30th of July.

Hereby we would like to express our deepest sorrow. Those who worked with him appreciated his friendly motivating nature very much. Teaching with him was a great pleasure. His humour was always catching. A course day with him was always informative and enjoyable for the course participants. He had creative ideas and imagination to convey things. For our association he was an enrichment. Unfortunately we lost him much too early.

In memory of Ki, we will give a merit plaque to his family.

Your Executive Committee
