[games_access] we have lost a colleague

[Joshua Caulfield]

Dear List,
 
It is always hard to lose a person who has made a strong contribution to a movement.  While I did not know Corey, from the information I have seen here and on AbleGamers.org, it seems he was quite a person.
 
We'd be happy to get something into the newsletter, in the announcements section.
 
Please send it directly to me: joshua at igda.org so that I can ensure it gets into the copy of the newsletter in a prominent position.
 
I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Joshua

I believe we send it to joda at igda.org or do we send it to 
joshua at igda.org? Sheri?

I can add in what he has contributed in the past with the SIG as well.
