It is with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of our

longtime friend, Roger Ganser,

the inspiring president of the World Federation of Investors (WFI),

Association of Investors USA (BetterInvesting), member of the SEC and

NYSE Board Advisory Council.

Roger has always impressed us as well as enriched our lives with his

presence, wisdom, and remarkable cheerfulness and vitality –

from our first meetings in Sao Paolo, Belo Horizonte, and Rio in Brazil thirteen years ago,

and since then all around Europe, on both friendly visits to Slovenia, all the way to

our earnest and friendly meetings in New York – which were unfortunately out last.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to Roger's loved ones and

hope that the memory of his unique and unforgettable personality, touching resolve

and charming energy will comfort them in this time of grief.

Dear Roger, you will be missed!
