An announcement of Ichbiah's death went out on the AdaIC announcement list
on January 29th. Instructions for subscribing to the announcement list can
be found at http://www.adaic.org/site/newslist.html.

Read an entire memorial to Jean Ichbiah at
http://www.adaic.org/news/ichbiah.html (this has been updated since we sent
out the announcements).
