Re: [802SEC] Jim Carlo -Tribute at the March Plenary
Bob,
I think a tribute at the next meeting would be a good thing to do. I came into 802 during his tenure, and he was a mentor to me too. He truly set the tone for IEEE 802. He was always upbeat to me, and he was a statesman. My sorrow goes out to Muffy and Jim's family.

All-
I will pile on with Stuart and Roger. Jim's 802 legacy is so great. I am
hoping we can set up some sort of tribute/memorial for him at the upcoming
plenary. Pictures of his times with 802? Maybe we could all look through
our collections and see what we have? It would be fun to start building a
web photo page of our times together and put many up for display for the
802 community. I am hoping Dawn would be ok with being the collection
point? I wonder if we could bring Muffy to Hawaii or would that be too
much too soon?
Anyway, some thoughts--
Bob H.
