hans Kumerloeve has contributed to OSME as a Vice-President through a 
lively and vigorous correspondence with its Council on a number of key 
ornithological issues in the region and by his regular (and we hope 
continuing) submission of contributions to Sandgrouse and the Bulletin . 
Perhaps greater still has been his contribution to OSME's (and OST's) 
cause - the study and conservation of the region's avifauna - through his 
active promotion of bird protection, nature conservation and reforms of 
the hunting legislation in Turkey. As recently as May this year he was 
vigorously campaigning at the ICBP European Continental Section meeting in 
Adana for the conservation of Turkish wetlands. We hope he will continue 
to service the Society cause for along time to come and thank him most 
warmly for his term of office.
