[Leish-l] Leishmaniasis looses one of its icons - Bob Killick-Kendrick

[Alicia Ponte Sucre]

Thank you Jeffrey.

Certainly, one of the icons left us, Bob Killick-Kendrick . However, he has
been so fundamental in the history of us all that work in the field of
leishmaniais thatI we all will remember him for many years.

 And man lives if people remember him!
