Hi All. Yes! It really is! He was a great help to me when I was having
problems with Kurzweil and Bookshare. At that time, I was on the volunteer
list.

Hi all,
I didn't realize that Peter wasn't working for Bookshare anymore. This is truly sad.

Dear John,
Your queery makes me sad all over again. Peter isn't associatedwithBookshare anymore. You are right that he's an extremely reliable,helpfulperson. I hope this change leads him to a situation where he'shappy and histalents are put to good use.
Below my signature is the letter he wrote to the Bookshare listsexplaininghis decision.
Always with love,
Lissi Hey all, I thought I'd stick in my two cents before the spin machine takes over. After a 15 year association with Benetech and Arkenstone before it, I have resigned my position as Technical Projects Associate with the Benetech Initiative. The lack of sponsorship to go to CSUN was just one symptom in an increasingly hostile and counter-productive relationship I've had with the current senior management of Bookshare. While the immediate reaction from management was to turn off all access to my account, even my access to read books, I still believe it to be a fundamentally terrific service and one worth supporting. I believe it is current management's misunderstanding of me as a person which, undoubtedly, led to the inference that I would use my knowledge of the web site's underlying code to do damage to its content or its user records. As I've indicated, I have total support for Bookshare and the rest of Jim Fruchterman's visions. I hope that he will one day be able to find senior management worthy of them. This does not mean you won't be seeing me at conferences such as CSUN, NFB, etc. My associations in the world of Accessible Technology are long-standing and still of great interest to me. Thanks.
