Dear LIS Friends, I have known Dr KNP for more than 40 years. He has been a source of inspiration and advisor to many of us. As Sunil has rightly put it he is one of those who is known for being straight forward. His stewardship in managing SRELS and the journal was commendable. Quality of the journal was well maintained under his leadership. I hope this will move on to equally safe hand in the future. Prasad, I along with my family - wish you a very happy and healthy retired life. With best regards Meera -- Dr B M Meera Librarian Raman Research Institute C V Raman Avenue, Sadashivanagar P O Bangalore 560 080 Ph: 09480836045
