Mohsen Bahrami, Iran Node Chair, The Millennium Project

In this moment of Ted passing away. I express my deep sorrow and offer my sincere condolences to all of you who had the chance to meet or know him, in particular to his family, Jerry, and Elizabeth. We Persians/Iranians are poetry people. For every occasion we have some poems. I thought a couple of lines from late Mis Jaleh Isfahani a contemporary poet is in order: Life is the sole scene of our artistic performance, Every body sings his/her own song and leaves the scene, The scene exists for ever, Hail to that song that people save for remembrance. The great Ted will remain in our memories and that of all, futurists for times to come. God bless him. May he rest in calmness with happy sole.
