The great success of this historic event can hardly be possible without invaluable contributions from Khun Aree Sawasdee, chairman of the local organization committee and President of the Thai Astronomical Society, and all local and international supporters, participants and speakers. We also would like to express our sincere thanks to Clinical Prof. Udom Kachintorn, Dean, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University as well as his staff for his support and hospitality.

We remember our co-founder
Udo Rudolph (1921-2008),
who would now become 90 years old,
at the 14th December 2011.

Udo was owner of Witte Publishing House [1] and the Udo Rudolph Publishing House [2] , between 1976-2005.

In 1976, Udo was successor of Ludwig Rudolph, as the chairman of the Astrological Research Society (Hamburg School) [3] Udo held the chairmanship for a 25-year period and received - as the third member of the family - the honorary membership of the society. But he returned his membership later in protest, because the new board continued the society non-compliant with statutory rules.

Instead to sat and rest, Udo Rudolph carry on his astrological researches in an international group. In The Hague (20 May 2007), he made the proposal to form a group with a new name, this was the birth of the International Uranian Fellowship.

The picture (above) shows Udo Rudolph (1976) in front of the house, which became (1969) the seat of the publishing house and the official seat of the Hamburg School study group. About the company nameplate, the symbol of the publishing house is shown in iron. The house is family owned and in use by the publisher.
