It's always a nice feeling of nostalgia to go back and have a little reminiscence on some of the past projects. Some fragments related to the IGCP 335 project Recoveries (1994-1997) have been posted on the internet. Also Otto Heinrich Walliser (* 3.3.1928 - † 30.12.2010) and Tatyana Nikolaevna Koren (* 3.3.1935 - † 15.10.2010) visited the Recoveries 1997 conference at the IKEM Centre in Prague – see a fifteen-year-old, accidentally discovered photograph where about half of participants of this conference were photographed  < the link is here >.
