Sad news, Martin.

Unfortunately I'm not long enough a meteorite-aficionado, so my chance to
know Walter Zeitschel personally wasn't really good. In any case, once I've
been in contact with him via email and felt his intense engagement for the
matter of the heavenly bodies immediately.

May he rest in peace. My compassion is with his family and friends.

Best regards,

Matthias Baermann
