She has been at the forefront (on the German side of the ocean) of keeping domestic stoves a funded, progressive and beneficial movement. Together with Dr Marlis Kees she drove innovation by encouragement and involvement particularly in Africa. Agnes is in several ways responsible for me devoting so much time to the development of new stove designs for which I thank her grandly.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>It is probably not out of place for me to say that she is ‘somewhat older’ than I am (49 ‘and some months’ my mother used to say). We always called her the ‘doyen of stoves’. She retains an abiding interest in our work, our discussions, our design innovations and our programmes, and as you can see, still reads ‘the list’.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Us ‘old timers’ (and I include Paul Anderson in that mix) come to stoves from very technical approaches (better combustion, better heat transfer, more features) so the entry of the politicians is a new experience. With them of course comes the money we always complained was not there. Perhaps a generational shift is needed to deal with the modern situation. It is all very exciting.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Best regards<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Crispin<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> <span lang=DE><o:p></o:p></span></span></p></div><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:white;border-spacing:0px'><tr><td style='padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt;font-size:initial;text-align:initial'><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0mm 0mm 0mm' id="_persistentHeader"><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>From: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Agnes Klingshirn<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Sent: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Thursday, December 4, 2014 03:35<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>To: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>'Discussion of biomass cooking stoves'<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Reply To: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Discussion of biomass cooking stoves<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Subject: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>Re: [Stoves] Stove-heated bed<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div><p class=xmsonormal><span lang=DE style='color:#1F497D'>Dear Crispin, </span><span lang=DE><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><span lang=DE style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span lang=DE><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>this is beautiful.
