Subject: Need Your Help -- Gary Smith died on Friday, July 3rd

I'm very sad to report that during his post-DAC break in Arizona,
Gary Smith of GarySmithEDA died from pneumonia Friday, July 3rd.
And we need your help on three things.

His widow, Lori Kate Smith, has called to ask me to put together
an EDA & SEMICONDUCTOR GARY SMITH MEMORIES PAGE this week before
the funeral such that Gary's 9-year-old son will be able to read
years later how those who personally worked with Gary saw Gary.

  1.) If you have any pictures of Gary, please email them to
      me in a separate email as:

                  To:  retype this email address!
             Subject: Gary Smith picture

      Feel free to send multiple pictures, too!

  2.) If you have any memories or stories involving Gary,
      please send them in ASAP!  Remember this will be for
      Gary's son, KC, years later -- so please take the time
      share stories that show Gary's character, humor, impact,
      quirks, influence, etc. -- that a son will want to read
      about his father 10 to 15 years from now.  Please email
      me them in a separate email as:

                  To:  retype this email address!
             Subject: Gary Smith memory

      Feel free to send multiple memories, too!  (Please say
      your full name and role in EDA/Semi in the email so KC
      will know who you are.)

      P.S. If you're an EDA/SEMI bigwig, this email must come
      from YOUR OWN EMAIL ACCOUNT -- NO having an assistant
      write Gary memories "on your behalf".

  3.) Gary's funeral will be in San Jose on Sunday, July 12th.
      Lori Kate needs to get a head count to know what size
      place to rent.  IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL, please
      email me in a separate email as:

                        To:  retype this!
                   Subject: attend Gary Smith funeral

                   My Name:
                  My email:
       Total number coming:

      And inside the email please add "We will have X people
      in total attending Gary's funeral on Sunday" -- where
      X is the total number in your group attending.

Lori Kate will reply with the exact morning time and exact location
of the funeral in San Jose as soon as she gets a good head count.
