Dear Jacek,
The news about Martin Gorovsky passing away is really saddening. I met 
him long time ago  during my first post-doc,s in  Iowa University and 
Wesleyan University in 1968. I always have admired his discoveries on 
tetrahymena nuclear apparatus.
I remember his lectures on many inetrnational conpherences; the whole 
ciliate community will be missing  important ciliate molecular 
biologist.
With sorrow
Maria Jerka-Dziadosz
