I regret that I have to inform you that our friend and colleague
Jan Scheutjens died in a car accident on August 2 during his
holidays.

As a simula wizard Jan contributed considerably to the spreading
of the Simula language. He recognised the importance of continual
innovation of Simula in order to link up with new trends in
computing science. During the latest A.S.U. conference he
proposed, in his characteristicly modest way, extensions to the
language to enable vector processing and interprocess
communication.

On behalf of the Department of Physical and Colloid Chemistry,
Wageningen University, the Netherlands,
Peter Barneveld.
