Dear Colleagues,
Paul Baltes was president of Division 20 from 1976-77 and received the Distinguished Contribution Award in 1990. His death in November has been deeply felt throughout our Division. The Spring Newsletter will have a section devoted to commemorating this event, and Dr. Harvey Sterns has agreed to compile these comments. Whether you knew Paul personally as a colleague or mentor, or felt his influence in your own scholarship, we would like to have your memories and your thoughts.
It would be helpful if you could keep your remarks to about 150 words. In order to meet our Spring Newsletter deadline, please submit your comments by February 5, 2007.These comments can be posted on http://psyaging-baltes.blogspot.com/
Posted comments will form the basis of a permanent tribute site that will be linked to the Division 20 website.

2. Following the introductory text, click on the link that says "# comments" (where # indicates the number of comments posted to date) at bottom. There is a "pencil" icon right next to it.
