I just wanted to wish blessings and peace to you and your family. May you find comfort in knowing that your contributions to technology have touched many! My very first experience with email was in 1993 at Yale University with my PINE account. In fact one of my first messages was to a then up and coming cartoonist named Scott Adams who proclaimed that he did not get much mail from women in the IVY Leagues!.

Other email messages exchanged with loved ones shaped the person that I was to become and without this mode of communication I would not have been able to share what would be final messages with relatives and teachers who helped me get to Yale in the first place.  I introduced my husband to PINE from ELM after graduation and he was so excited!

So thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Sincerely,
