[CPM-SPIRE-L] Fwd: Sad New about Alberto

[Daniel Gusfield]

Very sad news indeed. Alberto was a great community builder, leader and
booster.  He was also
the only person I knew who could truly be called a Raconteur, with a
capital R. I remember when
he turned 50 he said that he would now focus more on the ``life of the
mind", making every minute
count. I know he did.
