Dear Katerina Tlachova, Please, accept my deepest sympathy for the disaster that hit your country and its people. I would like also to express my congratulations to all our Czech colleagues. From your thorough report it’s obvious that all of you reacted quickly and responsibly, evacuating in time movable collection items, thus limiting the extent of destruction. My best wishes for quick rehabilitation Ersi Philippopoulou ex-chair of ICAMT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Change ICOM-L subscription options, unsubscribe, and search the archives at: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/icom-l.html
