Dear Bob:
Thanks for passing on the information.


Prof. Kraus was and is my mentor in grad. school. His kindness and
caring for others, his willingness to work hard, and his generosity are
also included in his legacy. He spoke softly, but in such a way that
you wanted to run to meet his expectations.
Analogously to the custom in mathematics, I tell my worthy students
that their Kraus number is 2 and that their students will be 3.
In addition to my father and my geology professor (James Zumberg), I
have tried to emulate Prof. Kraus all of my life. They were the
personification of the non-egotistical, helping genius. Too rare in any
age.
Prof. Kraus was also a pioneer in radio astronomy producing, as I
recall, the second atlas after Grote Reeber, who I once worked near.
The two men were fast friends.
Let us all rejoice in such a long and productive life. If we can
but approach a fraction, we will have lived well.

'till we meet again, 73 Mac N8TT
