Hi everyone, I've got some very sad news to report. Avid DDN member Steve Snow has passed away. I don't know any details apart from what has been posted on the AFCN website, which I've copied below. Steve joined DDN at the very beginning, way back in 1999, and was a leading voice for bridging the digital divide many years prior to that with his work at Charlotte's Web.. He will be sorely missed. Godspeed, Steve.... -ac
