You are invited to a commemoration of the life of Daniel (Danny) Bobrow.   A gifted scientist, Danny touched the lives of those who knew him as a co-worker, mentor, and friend in many different ways.  He was also a devoted and loving husband to his wife Toni, and a loving and inspiring father to his children, Kimberly, Deborah and Jordan.   Danny graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, then earned a Master's Degree from Harvard and a PhD in Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of Marvin Minsky. He went on to become one of Silicon Valley’s defining figures in Artificial Intelligence, pioneering numerous systems starting with his doctoral dissertation, STUDENT, and followed by the widely-used programming languages Logo and Interlisp; the (innovative) operating system TENEX; the knowledge-sharing system Eureka; and more recently, Powerset, the natural language search engine.   Please join PARC for a commemoration honoring Danny's life on Monday, June 05, 2017 in the George E. Pake Auditorium at 4.00 PM.   Speakers will share their experiences about their work with Danny. The remembrances will be followed by a reception.   In loving memory of Danny (29 November 1935 – 20 March 2017).
