[Charles Marshall <cmarshall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Monday, 20 May, 2002

Dear Colleagues,

	It is with great sorrow and regret that I write to inform you 
that Steve Gould passed away this morning at home in New York with 
his family, the result of a fast acting cancer.  No more details are 
available at this time, but notices of memorial services will be 
forthcoming.

Yours,
Charles Marshall
