[NFBCS] Time Passes

[john.boyer at abilitiessoft.org]

Hello,

Does anyone know what Caryn Navy, David Halliday's wife is doing now? They adopted two blind children, who must now be in their twenties.

I worked with David and Caryn for several years, developing the math features of MegaDots. 
Later I worked with john Gardner of ViewPlus Technologies developing liblouis and liblouisudml. Now I'm 84 and retired from working with others on software development. 
But I'm doing JavaScript development for my website http://www.godtouches.org 

thanks,
John
