Mette passed away last night.

But I will not be involved in the preservation of her web pages at all. Unfortunately I'm not sure that any would read Mette's e-mail. As far as I know her husband is not able to use a computer and her computer crashed early in 2008 and as far as I know she didn't managed to get a new one running before she passed away.

Mette's Slania site is in no danger of vanishing. Mette transferred
the site to me almost two years ago with the understanding that I would continue to maintain it, which I intend to do. Unfortunately, I do not know if she made similar arrangements for her other sites. She mentioned to me the possibility of archiving them at the Danish postal museum in Copenhagen, but I do not know if she followed through with that. -Todd Ronnei USA On Apr 3, 2:33*pm, "Jan Doggen" wrote: Maybe there is the possibility that her pages can be preserved more structurally?

The world is much emptier now. Mette will be sorely missed. She was simply a

I had no knowledge of that (and Mette should of course not keep me informed about what she had arranged or intended to arrange for her own pages). The last e-mail I had from Mette is from 23. August 2008 and in this or in earlier e-mail she didn't mentioned that she would like her pages to be stored at the museum. I know that she from that time had many, many problems with her health also due to the treatment she had. Sh told me in the phone that her computer gave her some trouble (or she had not the energy to communicate by e-mail any more) so I talked to her in the phone instead. I have known Erik Jensen for more than 30 years (he is my personal friend) and I have a clear feeling of what he would say if he was asked to host somebodies pages. He would say "no". But as you suggested I phoned him (I caught him at home this evening) a few minutes ago and he said that he remembered that Mette talked about her pages and he said that she was welcome to submit a CD - but she never sent it. Anyway the museum could not include them on their own home page, he told me. But Mette's pages will be kept and Jørgen Jørgensen, the president of Danish Thematic Association (DTA) (not "The Danish Motif Society" as I wrote, sorry) wrote us today: "I can inform you that I - on behalf of the Danish Thematic Association (DTA http://motivsamler.dk) - November 2008 agreed with Ann Mette Heindorff that DTA after her death should host all here sites with the "family name" heindorffhus.dk".

Dear Toke, this conversation with Mette ended on 03.August 2008. As Victor Manta wrote today and You confirmed now, will Mettes work become a fine new place. And we will have a fine new place to remember her and her work. Thank You Toke and Victor. all the best to You Gerhard |

Very sad news, which I have only just seen.
While I never met her, she had a wide knowledge of philatelic matters, and excellent web sites, and I enjoyed our occasional correspondence. It is fitting that the web sites can be maintained and will be a fitting tribute to her. My condolences to all her family. -- Tony Clayton Coins of the UK : http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk Sent using RISCOS on an Acorn Strong Arm RiscPC .... I am Popeye of Borg.

Mvh Toke Hello Toke, I have beeen deeply shoked by these very bad news ... We had a lot of things in common like our past experiences in embassies or her immense knowledge of French language which permitted us to exchange our thoughts quite frequently by e-mails or by phone. Especially in bad moments, when she got attacked here and in her mailbox by some mad man or when she suffered a lot of worries with the very bad health of her husband, Poul. Some years ago, we had arranged to finally meet in Paris, but they had to come back quickly to Denmark following a new problem in Poul's health. Over the years, we exchanged tens of mails, letters, small gifts ... Yesterday, I have been deeply moved by reading again all her personal e-mails. She was really a very nice lady, une "grande dame". I already miss her and I send all my thoughts to Poul. -- Pierre Courtiade |
