• Our group leader, Fritz Aumayr, became 50 just recently. Just the proper occasion for a wicked summer-style party … of course a surprise. Some students managed to guide Fritz to the party by means of highly sophisticated methods, pretending very interesting research findings. And all that without arousing his suspicion! Eventually the surprise worked out and finally ended in a nice celebration.
