It was with great shock and sadness that we learned that our board member George William Hamilton passed away in Vienna on December 22, 2025, at the age of 94. His body has reportedly already been cremated and his ashes scattered in Vienna and the US, in accordance with his wishes. A memorial service is to be held in Vienna in the spring. We will announce further details as soon as we learn more.

George provided both intellectual and financial support to the WISF, for which we will remember him with great gratitude!
