Karl Gunnar Persson In Memoriam (personal)

Summary:
Karl Gunnar Persson In Memoriam (personal) Like a bolt out of the blue, sad, sad, news reached us today that my dear old teacher, colleague, and neighbour — Karl Gunnar Persson — has died of a heart attack while on a bicycling tour in Sinea, Italy.
