Wunderlich passed away yesterday, unfortunately.
I used the list from Huntzman, first site. I have some other names, too.
You can update this list :-)

Sad to hear about Wunderlich;he was going to be 100 in July.I guess that the old one is Franz Kieslich, isn't he?

Wikipedia reports others name;however,I don't know how is reliable, for example some months ago there was Schwarm in the list who died in 2008.

Hello to all!
I ask a couple of times. Reply Hugo Broch, Joachim Boosfeld and Hans Ekkehard Bob on letters, or can it not to their health? I would also like to know in what language you write letters to Harald Nugiseks. Many thanks in advance!

[Nidhøggr]

Broch replies. Boosfeld...well....sometimes he answers, a friend of mine didn´t get an answer, I waited 2 years. Bob answered me, too.
You can write in german to Nugiseks.
