Hommage to Gudrun!

gudrun_falknerEvery year around Christmas, memories of old times come. And often you are lucky enough to meet old friends.

Some meetings are especially nice. What happened long ago is re-awakened, shared memories are exchanged and almost forgotten companions reappear.

My meeting with Frau Dr. Gudrun Falkner is always special. Gudrun and I met 38 years ago during our first computer science studies at TUM. To this day, neither of us has managed to understand the two-valued logics we were supposed to learn at the time.

Those were good years. There came a day when Gudrun went transatlantic and moved to America. Back in Germany, she wrote her dissertational thesis at TUM, was made Dr. Gudrun B. Falkner and finally worked at InterFace for many years. Her main field of interest was innovative: the development of technical documentation for IT systems.

Then came the call of science. Today, she teaches at Stralsund University, where she also is equal opportunity commissioner. I took the picture from her website.

And once a year, around Christmas, we meet for a Thai dinner at Neubiberg. Over dinner, we talk about everything and nothing at all, about the past and the future.

It was a nice evening
