[Chapter-delegates] Sad News: Jo-Anne Scott

[imkrtumyan at isoc.am]

Dear Colleagues,
I received the news with a great sorrow. I am a participant of the 
INET’93. It was unforgettable time. George Sadowsky and Jo-Anne Scott 
were hosting us. So many people from all over the world and Jo-Anne 
managed to be a wonderful hostess to all of us, ready to help in any 
problem. She was extremely kind and responsive. I consider George 
Sadowsky as a godfather of my Internet life and Jo-Anne Scott as a 
godmother.
Rest in peace dear Jo-Anne. We’ll never forget you, your smile, your 
image.
