Dr Rob Milne Memorial Service
The Scottish software and IT community has been saddened by the news of the death of Dr Rob Milne, who died on Everest on Sunday, 5th June 2005. Known to many throughout the software industry as MD of Intelligent Applications, Rob was an international expert in artificial intelligence and a keen mountaineer. Having climbed the highest peaks on every continent, Everest was his last challenge.
A Memorial Service to commemorate Rob's life will take place next Monday 20th June at 11.30am at Greyfriars Kirk, Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh, EH1 2QQ. Directions at
http://www.greyfriarskirk.com/find.html
Parking : There is parking in front of the McEwan Hall at Potter Row, see http://www.ed.ac.uk/maps/locate_ct.php?id=24 or its a brisk ten minutes walk from Waverley.
With Rob's colleagues at Intelligence Applications we are collecting comments and tributes from colleagues and friends to make into a folio for Rob's family. This will be combined with those on the Everest blog which the AI dept at Edinburgh University have maintained. If you'd like to contribute some words please let me have details and we'll add them, or feed them into the blog at http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/project/everest/blog/weblog.pl.
Rob's wife has asked that there be no flowers but people may wish to donate to Care for the Wild International.
Regards
Polly
