I have just heard that Chuck Simmons, who occasionally posted here,
died last weekend. Chuck was a true renaissance man who wrote with
equal eloquence of the relative merits of eyepiece designs or
mathematical philosophies. I met him first virtually through the
UFAQ (Unofficial Netscape FAQ) and physically at the First (and
only) Annual Gathering of Netscape Champions. The world will be
less without his presence.
There will be a gathering to swap Chuck stories next Tuesday, 27
January, at the Village Inn 1430 Harrison Rd. Colorado Springs, CO
80906.
