RIP Alan Kalameja
I saw in the March 8 edition of the TenLinks Daily newsletter that Alan Kalameja passed away at age 55. Condolences to his family. Alan hired me to write test questions for an AutoCAD certification exam in the early ’90s (I don’t recall which version, but probably either R12 or R13). That was one of my first real contracting jobs. Although it wasn’t very glamorous, it made me feel important, and undoubtedly helped focus my fledgling consulting business on AutoCAD. Thanks, Alan, for giving me that opportunity.

Hi, Owen
I am Alan's wife, Linda. Alan passed away peacefully at home on Friday, March 5, 2010 after a very courageous two year battle against Glioblastoma brain cancer. A "Homegoing Service" will be held in Alan's memory on Friday, March 26, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at Charleston Southern University, Lightsey Chapel in North Charleston, SC. Alan and I would have celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary on this date.
I have set up a scholarship in Alan's memory at Trident Technical College to honor his legacy as a teacher.
I am glad you had the opportunity to work with Alan and thank you for posting this announcement.
