On the topic of the Kindertransport, it's sad to see that Dame Stephanie (Steve) Shirley died yesterday (11th August).https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366628935/Obituary-Dame-Stephanie-Steve-Shirley-founder-entrepreneur-and-philanthropistAnd Dame Stephanie Shirley in Conversation with Hannah Macinnes - and book signing! 29 April 2019:https://flic.kr/p/2rn5wT3https://flic.kr/p/2rn6cfRIt was an entertaining and informative evening listening to Steve Shirley talk about coming to the UK with her sister as a refugee from Austria in 1939, being fostered and becoming a British citizen, setting up a company as a woman in the early '60s, becoming a successful business woman, being the mother of an autistic son, making lots of money for herself and other employee owners of the company and finally becoming a philanthropist. Good sense of humor but for all her enthusiasm in technology doesn't seem to have cracked and devised electronic signings for Kindles :-)
