Per-Kristian Giæver Halvorsen

In September 1993, at the age of 40, I had a meeting with Per-Kristian at Xerox PARC that changed my life. He was a friend of my brother Nick, also a linguist, and while I was on a visit from the UK to California he kindly mentored me on my best course of action should I, at that point an architectural journalist with no computer qualifications, want to become involved in graphical user interface design. His suggestion was to take a course in Cognitive Science, a topic that I had never come...

Remembering a wonderful neighbor and friend- can´t believe it´s been two years

Though. Haven´t seen Kris in years, I remember him very well. A serious scholar and an Amazing human being

I worked for Kris at Xerox PARC in the 90´s and will always remember him fondly. He was a great human being all-around.

This photo perfectly captures the warmth of Kris' smile that I always see in my mind's eye. Contemplate it and cherish the sense of beatitude it brings.

Dear Meg, this is a beautiful tribute to Kris, and a wonderful photo of his smiling face. We fondly remember his festive 70th birthday celebration and are sending you lots of love at this time.
