[Sauter, Edward]

It is with considerable sadness I pass along the passing of one of Geomag's
great geomagneticians: Lee Pankratz.

Thank you, Ed.  Fee free to pass along the news to anyone there.  I did
email Jeff already.

I’ll let you know about a service, probably later this week.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Sorry for your loss.  I hope Susan is doing OK with this.

Thanks for letting me know.  I hope you don't mind me sharing this message
with the rest of the building, and a few retired coworkers.  (I'll wait for
your reply before passing it along.)

I will try to remember a few stories of times I spent with your dad, that
demonstrate his personality.

Will there be a memorial service?
Regards,
Ed
