Was reading a talk about the 200th anniversary of Braille (thanks ) and he noted the passing of David Holladay who wrote early Braille translator software to help support his wife, Caryn Navy, a blind math professor when they were students at MIT.

He had a newsletter (about accessible computing) which was also published on cassette.

He continued to write and work on Braille software for his entire life, now with Wikipedia page!
