[E-trademarks] Sad News to Start the Year

[Carole Barrett]

Paul,



Hard to send sad news. Thank you.



I am feeling more than a little bit like a dinosaur. More than 40 years!
Who knew?



What year was Nils president and what year were you president?



I am well and hope you are too.



Carole

Dear All,



I hate to be the bearer of sad news, but former INTA President Nils Montan
passed away yesterday afternoon. I do not know the cause of death, but I am
stunned as he was posting up a storm on social media in the days before he
passed. Nils was truly one of the "good guys" in the trademark bar.  He was
the long-time Trademark VP at Warner Bros.  When he retired, he and his
wife moved to her native Brazil and that is where he passed.  He was a very
well-read guy with a creative mind, Hollywood good looks, and a million
dollar smile.  A real gentleman.  Some of the younger folks in this group
may not remember him, but those of us who are in our 60's will remember him
fondly.
