IUCN Otter Spec. Group Bull. 24(1) 2007W O R D S IN M E M O R I U MDear Otter-friends and friends of Claus,This was the first International Otter Colloquium since 1979 that took place without Claus.You know that he organized the very first International Otter Colloquium in Göttingen andthat was the real beginning of everything! Since that, he and sometimes I, participated in allInternational Otter Colloquiums.We were like a big family and even the language difficulties with Claus` “Teutonic” Englishhave neither been an obstacle to discuss the otter problematic nor to spend a happy eveningtogether.We hope that the 10th Otter Colloquium was successful – and I have no doubt that ourKorean friends will make it to that – and we hope, that you thought of Claus for a short whilehopefully drank a bear to him in the evening. He would have liked this.We would like to say thank you for all the letters, mails and flower we got. It is hard to livewithout Claus.We think of him a lot and will never forget him.With best thoughts and kind regardsBiggi and familyLiebe Otterfreunde und Freunde von Claus!Das war das 1. Otter-Kolloquium seit 1979, dass ohne Claus stattfand. Ihr wisst, dass er das1. Otter-Kolloquium in Göttingen organisiert hat und das war der Beginn von allem!Seitdem waren er und teilweise auch ich bei allen Kolloquien dabei. Es war wie eine großeFamilie und selbst die Sprachschwierigkeiten mit Claus` „teutonischem“ Englisch waren nieein Hindernis sich über die Otter-Problematik auszutauschen und erst recht nicht, die Abendegemütlich miteinander zu verbringen.Wir hoffen, dass das 10. Otter-Kolloquium ein Erfolg war und da habe ich bei unserenKoreanischen Freunden keine Zweifel - und hoffen, dass ihr mal kurz an Claus dachtet undvielleicht am Abend ein Bier auf ihn getrunken habt.Er hätte sich sehr gefreut.Wir möchten uns auch noch für die Briefe, Mails und Blumen bedanken, die uns erreichthaben. Es ist schwer ohne Claus.Wir denken viel an ihn und werden ihn nie vergessen.Mit den besten Gedanken und GrüßenBiggi und Familie- 3 -
