        In Memorial

Dear Friends,

It is with deep sorrow that we at Talking Communities and Accessibleworld.org 
announce the passing of our CEO. And Founder, Mr. George Buys. Sadly, George 
passed away on March 4, 2010.

George used his public profile to raise awareness about the needs of the blind 
and visually impaired: He understood the importance of providing equal access 
to the World Wide Web. Talking Communities is an example of George 
accomplishing his goal. He has contributed too many lives... Rest in Peace 
George. You will be sadly missed. 

In order to celebrate the life of this great man, we are planning a Memorial on 
Tuesday March 23, to honor his dedication and service to us all. 

Time: 5:00 PM PDT, 6:00 PM MDT, 7:00 PM CDT, 8:00 PM EDT
         and elsewhere in the world Wednesday 0:00 GMT. 

Approximately 15 minutes prior to the event start time; go to the Accessible
