Dear All, Please forgive the multi-list posting. This is just a short notice to let you know that I'd like to start to consider closing the Book of Condolence setup in memory of Torsten Brand, creator of Nuance Talks, in a few weeks from now. After which point it will still be possible to sign the book online, but entries after this time will not be printed into the official copy which is to be handed to Torsten's family in Germany shortly thereafter. Additionally, the Memorial Fund which we have setup to collect donations from those wishing to donate will be closed at the same time, with funds being passed to Torsten's family alongside the Book of Condolence. Unfortunately it will not be possible to donate after the Memorial Fund is closed. I am delighted with the responses thus far, and many of you have entered both kind and heartfelt messages. May I ask two things of you all, firstly if you have signed, please check that your entry is present as sometimes these things do go wrong. Secondly, please pass this message on to any list to which it has not yet been posted to which you are a member, obviously blind product / service related. Many of us have benefited from Torsten's work, either directly through use of Nuance Talks, or through the innovations which challenged that product. It is our hope that we can show our mutual appreciation for this pioneer of our community through our expressions within our individual dedications. If your entry does not appear on the pages of the book you may try either again to make your entry, please do check though after to make sure it worked. Or, send your name, country and message to; [email protected] with the subject line, Book of Condolence. Many thanks to you all Twitter: @neilbarnfather Neil Barnfather TalkNav Talks List Administrator. _______________________________________________ Talks mailing list [email protected] http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ and Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/ Voice your thoughts in the blog to discuss the Rights of persons with disability bill at: http://www.accessindia.org.in/harish/blog.htm To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
