    I finished "The Last Lecture" a week ago and was so uplifted by Randy's spirit that it made me a bit uncomfortable.  Ironic, ey?  To the Jai, the kids, and the world (academic and non-academic):  We have lost not only a brilliant mind,  but a personable, giving, loving, somewhat sardonic personality.  He has done what he set out to do--leave a large part of himself for his children to remember him--and in doing so, people worldwide will always remember Randy Pausch.

    I can't imagine anyone who would not be uplifted by Randy's life and his last lecture.  He contributed so much to so many in the short time he was given to do the job he was put here to do.   Ellen Troyer, Chief Research Officer, Biosyntrx, Inc.
