Good night, Chuck. Your pioneering initiatives in the screen reader
technology at the University of Kansas got me back to my academic strengths,
thinking I was lost when first experienced blindness. 

May Your Soul Rest In Perfect Peace, and your excellent work for the blind,
everlasting on earth.

I am sorry to have to tell you that Dr. Chuck Hallenbeck has passed away. He
was 94.

Some of you old-timers will remember Chuck. He was a Psychology Professor at
the University of Kansas for many years. He was also a talented programmer.
He started programming in the 1960's when he had to write his own
development tools, and assistive technology software, without any assistive
technology to start. with

He is best known for Turbo Braille, a widely-used and capable Braille
translator, "Ralph the Reader" a reading utility widely distributed by me,,
PROVOX a DOS screen reader, and many more. While not as widely known as
some, he was a pioneer in assistive technology. For example, he was the
first screen reader developer to create an independent audio cursor that
could be moved around the screen.

May he rest in peace.

Dave

Oh, and Chuck also served as one of the presidents of the Douglas County
Chapter of the Federation, before that chapter became the Jayhawk Chapter.

Yes, Dick Edlund had him join the affiliate so he could become one of the
founding members of that chapter.  I met him at a chapter meeting when I
first came to Lawrence.
