In the first place I would like to say that I am extremely grateful that this
conference took place. It was a very stimulating and exciting meeting. The
speakers and contributors to the discussion were all very inspiring and the Scientific
Organising Committee put together a most interesting program. It was
also helpful that the meeting was held in the same place where we were staying
and had our meals, the Schylge Hotel on the beautiful Frisian island of
Terschelling. I am very pleased that so many young astronomers took part and
made use of the many opportunities at meals and in the evenings to talk to older
astronomers. For me personally it was great to see many colleagues that have
worked in the same field as I and whom I often have known and respected for
many years
