st time being exposed to Braille readers, the software and hardware companies behind them, and their large community of users. I became personal friends with blind users and directly saw how this technology enabled them to be valuable contributors to teams and society. Their performance with these tools is so impressive. It's easy to forgot now with Social Media and Politics, but at that time of the rise of the Internet, the prevailing spirit was that the Internet would connect us all, independent of geography, socioeconomics, and disability. Your father's groundwork and continuing dedication prevented disenfranchisement at a time when things moved very quickly. I fear the modern Web may be leaving people behind (I have not been close to it for >20 years, so that may be baseless). I lost my father a few years ago from COVID. While I look at pictures and videos, it's really his creations and the people whose lives he enriched that I reflect on the most. I never met David Holladay, but I have witnessed his impact. Coming full circle, I recently realized that my current work in making Text User Interfaces for finance can improve access to users' financial information, via screen reader or braille device. Ironically, we are using Braille runes to allow sighted people to see graphs in text environments [2]. We will carry out this work in memoriam. Amen.
