Hi Jochen: Have you heard from Dr. Reinhold Busch? If not, what are your plans? Will you call him? Will you permanently stop your editing of his book? What is your update? Don

Dear Don,

Thank you for your e-mail.
I have not heard from Dr. Busch. Inasmuch as he told me that he has metastatic cancer, I assume that I have not heard from him because he is not well enough to continue with his project of publishing an English translation of "Verstreut über alle fünf Kontinente." If my surmise is correct, then my prodding him with inquiries would only serve to add to his unhappiness by reminding him of the precariousness of his situation.  If I am wrong, I will hear from him in due course, and then, if he asked me to do so, and subject to the limitations of my age and health, I would try to finish the translation as quickly as I could.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Best wishes to Jan and to yourself.
Jochen
