Teammates.

With great sadness, I want to let you know that today, Aleksandr Dobrenko passed away at the age of 65. He was a fine modeler, Member of the Board of the Youth Marine Council, Foreman of the Guild of Shipbuilding Models of the St. Petersburg Union, Organizer of All-Russian Competitions on ship modeling. He was a great person and will be never forgotten.
