Hi Eleanor,
I wrote Paul re his great voluntary work on students list and await his
response which I will forward you.
Great thought of you to have a tribute to him.
Will write too to Mark with my thoughts of Paul's work.
It is your initiative and no way will I do anything to get in the way of
your arranging but only to assist.
Well let's await Paul's response to me when and if he posts.
Thanks good friend.
Best, Tony Sweeney

Well Tony it is now down to people like yourself, Pauls Manager, Mark
Magenis has said they will look at some form of acknowledgment for Paul
provided that there is enough public support. He said people can contact
him directly. i did post his contact details to the list. If you know if
Paul is on any other list and if you can put me in contact with the list
owner, even a telephone contact, then I would appreciate it. I dont think
Paul went to Saint Josephs so it is difficult to target a large group of
blind people. Maybe you have the contact details for the list owner of the
blind computer users in Ireland.
Eleanor,
Sorry about the access uk in my subject as I didn't have your address in my
address book!
Yep it's your idea and I wouldn't wish to cut across in any way your idea as
of course you can glean.
Wrote to Paul privately about the private voluntary work as opposed to what
he does for NCBI.
I will forward his response to you and my mail to him and see how it fits
with you.
Now if he writes that he doesn't want anything of his voluntary well perhaps
that may be it?
Yes I will contact Mark with a mail of praise of Paul for his Voluntary work
indeed.
Great initiative goodd friend Eleanor.
Best, Tony Sweeney

Hi Eleanor,
Now take this in the spirit in which itt's meant as I know you will
surely.
What a wonderful idea for awarding Paul.
Yes he doesn't want that, okay.
The thing is that he probably doesn't want to be singled out from his NCBI
colleagues as the one to be awarded such, in other words that he would be
better than them!
No you are not a quitter so here's what I propose.
Think of his voluntary effort with his list and then think of a forum then
for which that tribute can be done.
I don't know much about it but possibly Rehab People Of The Year is a path
to follow but I can't remember if it's for voluntary work or just
voluntary organisations.
Perhaps there is another route, organising something like folk perhaps on
another list or creating one yourself?
Not sure how to create such but perhaps those in the know could assist you
in that if you are interested.
Yes for sure Paul deserves some kind of public/private award for his
endeavours.
I know that you won't give up, certainly trust not.
Cheers friend and have a think about all of that.
Best, Tony Sweeney
