--- Forwarded Message from Peter Liddell <[log in to unmask]> --- ================= Subject: Ursula Williams It is my very sad duty to report that Ursula Williams, our dear colleague and President Elect of IALLT, died this morning, after a long struggle with cancer. Her daughter Lara reported that she died peacefully at home. There is to be a memorial service at Notre Dame University at a later date, to be arranged. As someone said, it is ironic, but maybe typical of Ursula's spirit, that as a member of the "Fightin' Irish" of Notre Dame University, she should hold on until March 17th. She would have appreciated the irony. Ursula was truly a 'presence', uniquely gifted to bring great energy and humor to her very committed and widely esteemed professional activities. She will be well-remembered and sadly missed by all of us who met and worked with her. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Peter Liddell President, IALLT
