Yale Braunstein, a professor at UC Berkeley's School of Information, passed away last night.
Yale was a significant influence in reinforcing my interests in information and technology policy. In his Information Policy class, he always had very interesting stories and perspectives on important policy issues. Not only was he wise, but he knew important people like former Secretaries of State. He seemed to always have a smile on his face and was never afraid to jump into a difficult problem and do his best to make it better. I'll think of him, as I do with all my mentors, in the future when confronted by a particularly difficult policy problem.
Yale also taught me to take tedious and seemingly boring problems and try to find a way to make them fun... that's a clever trick I still use to this day. Thanks, Yale.
I am Yale's sister and was fortunate to be out here in CA with Yale's wife and son when he passed. Thank you so much for your kind words.
