[Axiom-developer] Manuel Bronstein

[Martin Rubey]

Dear Fellows,

today morning, Stephen Watt posted very sad news on the aldor mailing list:

Although I only got a glimpse of him, I appreciated his kindness and
helpfulness with regards to digging up old code and get collaboration started.

Sad news.

In one of his last emails to me he wrote:
