Hi All,

The recent talk on the list has forced me to write this a little sooner than
I wanted to.  A lot of you seem upset with the lack of response from
Syntha-voice and justifiable so.  The reason you have not heard from us is
that David Kostyshyn passed away on Nov. 23, 2001.  I do not want to go into
the details with you at least at this time.  The family has been having a
very difficult time of late as you can well imagine.  Hearing the stuff that
people have posted does not make things any easier at all.  I have been
working night and day to try and sort things out for the company as well as
trying to deal with my brothers death.

David as you all well know did a lot of work for the industry and it hurts
me deeply when I hear things on the list bad mouthing what he has done.

Syntha-Voice will be closed as of now.  I know that David would not of
wanted this but at least for now I have no other options.

I would appreciate it very much if you refrain from calling the office as we
are having a great difficulty dealing with Davids tragic loss.

Glen Kostyshyn
