  5/20/08 Several people noted that the Kurzweil Alumni News hadn't noted recent deaths of KAIers. Mabyn Martin died on September 6, 2007; her death notice is here. Warren Stewart died on August 17, 2007. Kai Carver set up a blob page to remember Warren here. The Kurzweil Alumni News is also aware of these other deaths: Phil Fitzpatrick in 1995; Bill O'Donnell on May 12, 1997; and Reg Brown on October 10, 2005. The contact database has been updated to note their passing.
  5/16/08 Miriam Goodman passed away on May 11, 2008. A celebratory and moving service of remembrance was held at Temple Shir Tikvah in Winchester on May 16, with nearly 200 people in attendance. KAI was well represented. A reception was held immediately after at the Griffin Museum of Photography. Her death notice from the Boston Globe is here, and a very nice obituary from the May 16 Globe is here.

* 9/8/02 Thanks to Mack's (Ed Mackenty, who hosts this web site on his server) generosity with disk space, we have started posting pictures from the KAI photo archive. There's an index page here which has a thumbnail of each picture and a list of the names of who's in it. There are some missing names (and probably some errors); please send updates and corrections to Steve or Pat.
