Dear All, I am passing the below message, which has appeared today on a number of UK access technology lists. Kind regards, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: talks-alpha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-alpha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: 18 June 2010 21:00 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; 'Talks Mailing List'; 'The Accessible Phones Discussion List'; aiphone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; viphone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: 'Access e-mail forum' Subject: [talks-alpha] Torsten Brand Condolence Book & Memorial Fund 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; service@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:service%40talknav.com> with the subject line, Book of Condolence. Many thanks to you all Twitter: @neilbarnfather Neil Barnfather TalkNav Talks List Administrator. __._,_.___ Reply to sender <mailto:forums@xxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Torsten Brand Condolence Book & Memorial Fund> | Reply to group <mailto:talks-alpha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Torsten Brand Condolence Book & Memorial Fund> | Reply via web post <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/talks-alpha/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJybzFyb29xBF9TAzk 3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MDY5MTE0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTY0NDA4OQRtc2dJZAMxMTk0NwRzZWM DZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEyNzY4OTEyMTI-?act=reply&messageNum=11947> | Start a New Topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/talks-alpha/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmb2YxY2swBF9TAzk 3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MDY5MTE0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTY0NDA4OQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHB jBHN0aW1lAzEyNzY4OTEyMTI-> Messages in this topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/talks-alpha/message/11947;_ylc=X3oDMTM3dW5jM3 UzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MDY5MTE0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTY0NDA4OQRtc2dJZAMxMT k0NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEyNzY4OTEyMTIEdHBjSWQDMTE5NDc-> (1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/talks-alpha;_ylc=X3oDMTJmdDNwNGY0BF9TAzk3MzU5 NzE0BGdycElkAzE1MDY5MTE0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTY0NDA4OQRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0 aW1lAzEyNzY4OTEyMTI-> MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!
