Begin forwarded message: From: Dave CROCKER <dcrocker () bbiw net> Date: December 3, 2008 12:45:49 PM EST To: David Farber <dave () farber net> Subject: [Fwd: Go Alex] Dave,Folks on IP might enjoy hearing about this -- if only as a change of pace -- since it is about a small cause, taken up spontaneously, seeking to remedy one person's plight. Particularly coming immediately after the mass of self-serving, self-promoting and alienating silliness we call an election season, it really is quite nice to be reminded so concretely that there are folk at the other -- and far more appealing -- end of the spectrum.
Besides kudos for a job well-done, Alex warrants thanks for that reminder.

<http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/home/news.asp?id=50983> "Her conviction in January 2007 was the low point of her life, but soon after that Amero found a champion in Alex Eckelberry, the CEO of Sunbelt Software, who contacted her after hearing about her case. After looking at the evidence, he and other security professionals concluded that Amero had been wrongly convicted. Within months they had mustered a high-powered team of lawyers and security experts who ultimately got the guilty verdict overturned, setting the stage for a retrial.She calls Eckelberry her "shining star" and keeps a picture of him on her
wall." ..."Amero: I felt like, 'I'm going to die. I'm going to go to jail.' I walked out of there looking to find me a new toothbrush to take to jail. I was in
bed for a week or so, crying. My husband had to stay home with me. My family came to me, and we thought I was going to jail. And then out of nowhere, Alex popped up. IDGNS: Alex Eckelberry, the CEO of Sunbelt Software. Amero: He's my shining star. He hangs on my wall at my home. IDGNS: Does he really? Amero: There's a picture of him there. My husband even blew it up." Kudos to Alex! -Hank -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
