I'd like to add my appreciation to this growing list of testimonials. I
enjoyed Otmar tremendously as a colleague both in NERALLT/IALLT and as
co-members of the governing board of the Consortium of Language Teaching
and Learning.
Otmar always had a soaring vision, yet a quick command of the concrete
details needed for execution. He has been a catalyst in many important
projects. I have met few people over the years as capable of stewarding
meaningful change.
Tom has big shoes to fill, but I am sure he will do a magnificent job
writing the next chapter of the LLTI story.
All the best to you both!
-Thom
