I have  just received my latest TacNews and got some sad news, Jonathan Rowell will be giving up the chair at ICA commission on maps and graphics for blind and partially sighted people, Ann Gardiner will be stepping down as editor of TacNews and Simon Ungar stopping the INTACT website.
Through these activities they have educated us, and shared and spread sorely needed information world wide.  Their knowledge and research has been indispensable for the advancement of tactile graphics.
Thank you.
