John Iliff, We'll Miss You
I learned this morning that John Iliff, of Palinet fame, died suddenly this weekend. All who knew John or who attended his sessions on emerging technologies at last month's conference know that he was a lively, engaging, warm, and kind person who was also the living embodiment of generosity. John was generous with his time, his ideas, and his encouragement of others. He was a delight to work with and will be terribly missed by all of his friends at NJLA. RIP, John. We hardly knew you.
Update: Ty Rousseau, IT Section member extraordinaire, had a great idea to honor John that we know he'd love. Ty has set up a podcasting blog for those of us who knew John to record & listen to podcasts about him. The URL is http://iliff.podomatic.com, and you can call in your podcast (literally! John loved this!) to 206-339-7322.
