January 3, 2000

It is with great sadness that I must report to you that Victor
Serebriakoff, a man to whom Mensa owes so much, is no longer with us.
Victor passed away yesterday, January 1, 2000 at about 10 a.m. in the
morning GMT. His end was peaceful, at home with his family and coming
after some months of illness.

Victor was one of Mensa's visionaries. He is thought of as the man most
responsible for the very existence of American Mensa, having been the one
who hired Margot and whose many visits to the USA led to favorable
publicity and increased Mensa activity. In my many previous offices in
American Mensa I had many occasions over our 25+ years of friendship to
interact with Victor. I always found him to be totally dedicated to
Mensa and its growth. He had only two great loves in the world, his late
wife Win and Mensa. He toiled tirelessly on behalf of Mensa.

I know all of Mensa will join me in sending to his family our sincerest
condolences. I also know that Mensa will miss him very much. I have
asked Chris Leek, Chairman of British Mensa, and Ed Vincent, International
Executive Director, to represent International Mensa at the funeral.

Dave Remine
Chairman
