 accident, in the midst of the Paris student revolt in May 1968. In the Quartier Latin where most participants were accommodated, the streets were full of gendarmes and heaps of cobble stones. There were also demonstrations on the Meudon campus of the Observatoire de Paris and one YERAC session was interrupted by a noisy crowd of student-demonstrators who marched through the lecture hall carrying banners and shouting anti-capitalist slogans. Nevertheless the programme unfolded as planned.
-There is an overview of all YERACs held from 1968 onwards at [[http://www.jive.nl/jivewiki/doku.php?id=yerac:yerac]]. Note that three meetings of the possible 45 failed to materialize, in 1998, in 2001 and 2002. Somehow hosts were not designated or failed to do what was required. Nevertheless the record of 42 meetings in 45 years for so simple an initiative is heartening. YERAC has given many hundreds of young radio astronomers a great impulse in their science lives. Without YERAC, European radio astronomy would not have achieved its worldclass quality, innovative development and dynamic ambitions.

 This note is written for the record, and dedicated to Emile BLUM who died in 2009 at the age of 84. I am grateful to be invited to Russia in order to tell this story at the Pushchino Radio Observatory during the 42nd YERAC from 17 to 21 September 2012.
