Goodbye Jeffrey


by Sheryl Burgstahler, DO-IT Director

I am sad to report that Jeffrey, a '98 Scholar, passed away on April 25. You can read his first bio in the DO-IT Snapshots publication at http://www.washington.edu/doit/Snapshots/1998/phase1.html. Jeff, the Valedictorian of the Olathe East High School class of 1999, earned an Associates degree from Middlesex Community College. He completed a Bachelor of Science degree from Northeastern University in both Biology and Geology. We will remember Jeffrey as a strong self-advocate, a serious and dedicated student, and an active participant in Boy Scouts of America and Karate. To get a sense for Jeff's determination, positive attitude, and use of assistive technology, check out the DO-IT video Working Together: People with Disabilities and Computer Technology at http://www.washington.edu/doit/Video. We will miss Jeffrey.
