David Hermges dies.

The long-time head of the shortwave service of the Austrian Radio and Radio 
Austria International, David Hermges, has died in Vienna following a 
lengthy illness. He was 78. Born in England in 1928, he came to Austria 
after the war and was based in Carinthia. He then returned to England to 
study at Cambridge (Philosophy and Modern Languages) and also spent some 
time at the Sorbonne. He returned to Austria and later began to work for 
the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation. His voice was known to generations 
of listeners at home and abroad from his English news bulletins on the 
first programme of the ORF, his announcements for all broadcasts from the 
Salzburg Festival and last, but not least the ORF's English-language news 
and current affairs programme Report from Austria. David is survived by his 
wife and one son.
