Tragic News (by yag)

I got an email today that an old friend and a long time VFP MVP, Drew Speedie and his son Brent died on Friday while hiking in Yellowstone Park. Drew and I spent many years speaking at the same conferences all around the world – and he was one of the speakers that could invariably find something new and interesting to discuss in his sessions. His son, Brent, came to many of the conferences, and I remember him proofreading conferences reports written at European conferences for the Universal Thread.

Our entire team offers our condolences to Drew’s family. They’ll be missed.

UPDATE: We just got this information from Russ Swall at Drew's company:

We have built a memorial site for Drew and Brent. We will continue to add information as it becomes available. It also includes a forum and some photos. If you have pix you'd like to share, please send me an e-mail with a link to them or we can arrange to put your photos on that site.

Thanks to all who have contributed their experiences and condolences. We will be passing them along to Irene when she returns to Scottsdale.
