Carl was the one I was most likely to sit with and talk one-on-one during WedTech luncheons when we both used to attend (decade or more ago?) semi-regularly.   I also acutely remember when he brought the Taiko Drum group (just forming) to SFx circa 2008?  It was quite a scene and the old railcar garage had great acoustics for them as I remember!

We haven't celebrated too many losses in the FriAM constituency have we?

I remember when someone (Kevin Kelly) made the point on The WELL (whole earth lectronic link, circa 1990) that a virtual "community" wasn't a proper community until it experienced at least one wedding and one funeral.  I think the WELL has experienced much larger attrition than we have.

Offhand, I only know of Doug, Hywell, now Carl, and I'm thinking we lost Vladymir ??? from Canada to the Grim Reaper ("Смерть"). Peter Lissaman (Gossamer Albatross fame) was a SFx regular for a while  as were Fred (Unterseher) and Becky though neither were FriAM...who we lost over the last roughly 4 years.... sorry to go into morbid list-making...

Stephen,

It was Carl and you who welcomed me into this community 20 years ago.

    I have similar regrets, Stephen.  I live a five minute walk from
    the Hospital.  He and Bruce Sawhill were the first people I met at
    Bios.
