[TUHS] Sad news: we lost George Colouris

[H.J.Thomassen]

In July 1974 I visited Bell Labs Murray Hill, and Ken & Dennis showed me 
around. I was very impressed because we (Univ of Nijmegen, NL) had a 
PDP-11/45 just like theirs and I knew that machine quite well.
It was clear that their software kicked the machine much heavier than 
our (DEC-original) DOS-system did. But I was a naive student so I wanted 
more information and asked Ken: are there many UNIX users in Europe?
Ken brought us to the library where a Ms. Irma B. Biren, librarian, kept 
the record of licenses. We found prof. Colouris in London... When I 
asked whether maybe somebody closer by our place was present, Ken found
Gideon Yuval in Tel Aviv. Nobody closer....
