CUE leader asks friends to celebrate his life

CUE member Doug Prouty passed away on March 12, 2008, following a heroic two year battle with cancer. Doug succeeded in regaining enough stamina to attend the 2008 CUE Conference, and was a joy to all who interacted with him during the three days he was in Palm Springs.

Doug served CUE in many capacities. He was an active member of the EBCUE affiliate and was also on the EBCUE Board of Directors. He was a popular and entertaining presenter at the CUE Conferences. For many years, he and Tim Landeck led the Technology Coordinators SIG. In 2005, he was elected to the CUE Board of Directors where he served until he stepped down to focus on his health. He was a contributor to the OnCUE journal and continued writing through the Spring 08 issue.

Doug made a triumphant stand in his battle with cancer; not unlike his tenacious passion for the impact that technology can have on student achievement. The CUE community mourns this loss with his family, and celebrates his life and contributions to our mission.

More info on Doug is available on his blog:
A funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, April 5 at 11AM at St. Stephen's Catholic Church, at 1101 Keaveny Ct., Walnut Creek. In lieu of flowers, the family is encouraging donations to the California Autism Foundation.

There will be a party celebrating Doug immediately following the Mass at the hall adjoining the church. Please come for lunch, bring your favorite stories or photos, and your acoustic. guitars/instruments if you'd like to do some impromptu music.

Celebrations of Doug: here, here, and here
