With deep sadness we have got the message by the MMD that Ralph Schack
has gone, forever.  Now there is another large gap of personality left
in the world of mechanical music!  Since he was a member of our society
we appreciated his advice in any case when having questions for special
matters in Mechanical Music.  Our thoughts are with his family.
