[1] Memorial of Dr. Ed Sickafus (1931 - 2018)
(Toru Nakagawa, Late Dr. Ed Sickafus, Kurt Edward Sickafus)
Dr. Edward Nathan Sickafus (the developer of USIT) passed away
nearly a year ago, on November 15, 2018.
I noticed the sad news on July 5, 2019 as a result of
Internet search, after wondering why no email response from
him for several months.
I sent an air mail to his deceased wife, Mrs. Mary Sue Sickafus,
and got an email response from his elder son, Dr. Kurt Edward
Sickafus on Aug. 3, 2019.
I am sorry to be late in announcing this sad news to
TRIZ/USIT community, because I was waiting for some more
information from the family.
The present page posts: Heritage News (Nov. 2018);
Communications between Nakagawa and the deceased family

Please contribute your tributes to Dr. Ed Sickafus to the present page.
[2] On the 21st Anniversary of "TRIZ Home Page in Japan": Toru Nakagawa (Nov. 1, 2019)
This Web site "TRIZ Home in Japan" celebrates its 21st Anniversary today, Nov. 1.
I am very grateful to you all, including authors, translators,
and readers in Japan and around the world, for your continuing support.

[4] Significance of the WTSP Project and its WTSP Catalogs:
Communications with Bill Fowlkes (USA)
Dr. Bill Fowlkes is VP of IP.com (USA) and was an active
user of TRIZ software (Tech Optimizer and IWB) many years ago.
While looking for new information about TRIZ software, he met
my Web site (probably the page of 'World 120 TRIZ Links' (2008)).
So he sent me a message via LinkedIn.
I mentioned him about our WTSP project and the newly-completed
WTSP Catalogs (2019).
He found it a terrific reference.
On my request, he wrote the introduction of his site
(coded as TN3E-23 in WTSP Catalog) in our standard Site Description Form.
It is a nice example written by a professional in Intellectual
Properties (i.e., an area AROUND TRIZ).
So, I asked him to write a message of his impression of WTSP.
For doing so, he wanted to understand the structure of the
WTSP project and the WTSP Catalogs.
I sent an explanation.
Then he sent us his message soon.
It expresses the heart of the WTSP project and WTSP Catalogs.
I am very grateful to Dr. Bill Fowlkes and very happy to cite
his message in the attached GIF file.
All the communications between Dr. Bill Fowlkes and myself
are posted in the English page.
Best wishes,
Toru
