Paul Reynolds
26 May 2010
It is with great sadness that we report the untimely death yesterday of Paul Reynolds in New Zealand. It was Paul who originally contacted the Society a year ago and gave us the initial inspiration and ideas for the KM Today Blog. He was supportive of all our endeavours and the Society has lost a friend.
