Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As you can tell from the short time between this e-mail and my last one,
Dave's condition declined precipitously this afternoon and he died about an
hour ago.  I spoke with JoAnn.  She is surrounded by close friends and
relatives and again reiterated how much Dave and she enjoyed the cards other
gifts sent to Dave.

There will be a memorial service for him at Pacific Science Center, but the
time and date is not yet known.  I will send more information when it
becomes available.

Dennis

> Dear Friends and Colleagues,

> A number of people have asked me how Dave Taylor is doing.  Unfortunately,
> he and JoAnn learned last week that his condition is such that a liver
> transplant would probably not be successful and that even getting though
> the operation would be doubtful.  
> 
> On Friday, Dave decided to be moved home under hospice care where he can
> be around familiar surroundings, the people and cats he loves, and to
> enjoy the view of the Puget Sound.  
> 
> He appreciated the many cards, videotapes and books-on-tape he received
> from people everywhere.  In the last month, his significant impact on the
> Science Center field was mentioned at gatherings of science center
> professionals from around the world.  His latest contributions to the
> research regarding how girls learn in a science center environment are in
> the latest issue of the ASTC Dimensions.
> 
> I will write again when I have more information to share.
