Christian, et al:
I appreciate you letting us know. Bernard has always been a jewel to me, and I owe him a lot, when it came to me trying to make the Internet a better place.
I got to know him well for the first time when we co-chaired MARTINI, if I recall correctly, but our paths crossed so often it's hard to remember for sure. He was one of the experienced IAB members who made me as productive as I was, and he was so helpful in so many roles.
May his memory be a blessing, indeed.
Best,
Spencer
