Silence

Like so many others I was incredibly heavy hearted over the unexpected passing of Ginny Talamasca of Last Call. I had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Ginny pretty well last year while organizing the Metaverse Awards, and found him absolutely delightful, spirited and enthusiastic.

Ginny was, to me, the definitive designer in Second Life- He was the real thing. He raised the bar of quality and real craftmanship, and his artistry was nothing short of brilliant. This is a loss that will resonate with so many of us who held him in high esteem, and deeply respected his prfound contribution to our Second Lives. This tragedy transcends the worlds of virtual and real and punctuates how someone can unexpectedly and inadvertanly impact so many, many people.

Words cannot properly express my sympathy for those who knew Ginny beyond the boundaries of Second Life, and were privilaged enough to share the part of her life she called the Second. My thoughts and prayers are with you now.

Ginny may be gone to soon, but she will never be forgotten.
