THIS IS AN URGENT FAX FOR DR D ALLAN BROMLEY
TO: Dr D Allan Bromley, Executive Office
FAX NO: 091-202-395-3261
FROM; Mrs Helen Jooste, Secretary to Professor JP F Sellschop
FAX NUMBER; 011-339-7740
URGENT
Professor Dr Achim Richter of Darmstadt has been trying to get in
touch with you in order to ask you whether you would like to send
a message to Professor Sellschop for his 60th Birthday Festschrift
which is to be held here at Wits University tomorrow, 8 June.
However, very unfortunately I had inadvertently given Dr Richter
your telephone number and not your fax number, thus he has been
unable to reach you. If you would like to send a message to
Professor Sellschop, I would be very grateful if you could fax it
to me at 011-339-7740 (the fax machine is in my office) and I
could then hand it to Dr Richter, who is in Johannesburg for the
occasion. The Festschrift will be held at 16:00 South African
time on 8 June.
Thank you and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause
you.
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
June 7, 1990
Dear Friedel:
My apologies for not getting this letter to you in more timely fashion but
unfortunately modern communication channels apparently failed us.
That said, let me begin by telling you how delighted I am to have this
opportunity to participate, even if at a distance, in the celebration of your
60th birthday and to join with your friends--and mine--at Wits in
recognizing your truly unique contributions to South African science and
most certainly to world science in an impressive array of fields.
Your leadership has resulted in Wits having one of the truly outstanding,
world class facilities for the study of ion-solid phenomena, nuclear physics
in its broadest sense, and the application of both nuclear and condensed
matter science to problems of major national and international
consequence. And far beyond your research, you have trained an
outstanding group of students in the finest traditions of both international
science and of Wits.
Your activities have stimulated major research throughout the world and
through visits, both long and short, you have transferred the techniques
that you have developed at Wits to institutions ranging from Bell
Laboratories, the Oak Ridge National Laboratories and the California
Institute of Technology in this country to GSI in West Germany, Aarhus
in Denmark and Daresbury in the UK. Your missionary activities in these
and other institutions have been extremely successful.
In your work you have established what I have long considered the
appropriate balance between fundamental research and the application of
the results of that research to problems of very real societal and industrial
importance. Your work with the diamond industry, for example, has
resulted in important benefits both fundamental and applied, and your
work on nuclear technology applied to large scale hydrology has opened
up an entirely new field of study worldwide.
On behalf of the American scientific community-and happily, now also as
a loyal member of the Wits family-I should like to take this opportunity
to congratulate and thank you for your many contributions to science, to
its effective application and to our University.
And as past-president of the International Union of Pure and Applied
Physics, I well know the effective role that you have played in representing
South African interests--and those of nuclear and ion-bean science--in that
international forum.
Finally, as an old friend and colleague let me wish you many exciting and
productive years ahead in research and its administration and, even
more-together with Pat-let us wish you and Sue a long, happy and
rewarding life ahead. Speaking from experience, 60 marks only a
beginning.
With warmest best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Allan
