Dear All, The Web Accessibility Initiative mourns the passing of William Loughborough, a tireless advocate for accessibility since before the beginning of WAI. Over the years William contributed energetically and enthusiastically across all areas of WAI's work, from raising awareness to helping ensure a technical foundation that supports accessibility, never hesitating to ask questions and exhort those around him to make the Web truly accessible for people with disabilities. William constantly challenged stereotypes of older Web users as less technically literate and adventurous, and reminded us that age need not keep one away from the joys of technology. William, thanks for all your contributions. We'll miss you! Sadly, - Judy -- Judy Brewer +1.617.258.9741 http://www.w3.org/WAI Director, Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) MIT/CSAIL Building 32-G526 32 Vassar Street Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA
