Charles Norton who with Victor Decyk currently focuses on Object Oriented Fortran and its use for legacy code modernization will be coordinating contributions.... I wonder if you would be willing to contribute either a short commemorative/reflexive note, or your thoughts on the past and future role of Fortran or its impact on the field, or longer review paper on this topic to this issue, either written by yourself or with your colleagues. We are open to any form of a contribution from you. Boleslaw K.
