It is with great sadness that I pass on to you all the news that Rosalie Blake has passed away.
Chris, Thank you for passing on this sad news. If you can, please pass my condolences to her family. Many years ago, before we became Koha "based", I spoke with her on the telephone - a satellite connection with an embarrassing delay between hear/talk. Ms Blake was most friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgable. People like her should be cherished - she was part of the "old fashioned way" of moving the world forward. Thank you, merci, nia'wen. Paul
Rosalie was the Head Librarian at Horowhenua Library Trust when Koha was started and without her Koha would not exist. But more than this Rosalie was an amazing person, a librarian who always thought outside the box, a gifted potter, a friend to many and a beloved mother and grandmother.
Details around the funeral and memorial note should be available tomorrow. But I am sure you will all join me holding Rosalie's family and friends in your thoughts.
Tiwhatiwha te pō, tiwhatiwha te ao.
Chris
