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

[Wallacepeters2 at aol.com]

Bob's passing will be mourned by all who knew him. I am one of those who  
had the good fortune, the privilege and pleasure of working with Bob over  
many years. We shared numerous congenial and productive experiences in the 
field  and the laboratory, as well as memorable social occasions in some odd 
corners of  the world. He had great intellectual depth and technical 
expertise. These he  shared unstintingly with all whom he met, young and old, novices 
or world  authorities. 
 
For those of you who would like to know more details of his career but who  
have not yet come across this information, may I recommend an excellent 
article  posted anonymously in the French version of Wikipedia at the following 
 site  _http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Killick-Kendrick_ 
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Killick-Kendrick)  .  There is also a photo of him 
on

Our thoughts and sincere condolences go to his wife and long-time colleague 
 Mireille, and their families.
