On February 20, 2001, Dan Casey, OS/2 advocate and president of Warpstock, passed away. In his memory, the Warpstock Committee has donated $1,000 to Edelweiss House, an organization that helps homeless children.

The mission of Edelweiss House is to provide a family home life for abandoned and homeless children. This goal will be accomplished by construction of homes in the Indianapolis area, where a married couple will head each home and care for several of the children. By providing a wholesome family environment, the children will receive the love, care, and education they deserve.

Dan was co-owner and vice president of sales of Kool Vent, a family-owned business in the home construction industry. Dan believed strongly in the mission of Edelweiss House and was looking forward to seeing the construction of the first home.

Dan will always be remembered by family, friends, and OS/2 users around the world. The Warpstock Committee hopes that this donation will one day help save the life of a child, and we invite you to also contribute.

The 5th annual Warpstock conference will be held October 6-8, 2001, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is produced by Warpstock, Inc., a North Carolina non-profit corporation. The Warpstock annual conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors from around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy.
