2. I've been here so long I recognize most of those names. I believe WCGreen

was having some health issues a while ago. Hope they're OK.

[Arazi]

4. WCGreen is doing fine

I remember all of those names. And DU meet ups although I never went to any much to my regret now. I too hope that all the others are doing well except for those that have already passed like Kephra, and Andy, and Will , etc..

6. That's great to hear. Yeah, I never got to go to any either. Wish I had. Can't believe

it's been 22 years since I signed up. Back when I was in my 20s.

8. Sure do, especially Will and Andy.

I had several conversations with both in early days. The others I didn’t know on a one-on-one basis.

9. My dear Pausan!

I remember many of those who you named above.

MiddleFingerMom, and WCGreen...both were close friends of mine. Many great phone calls and fun times!

nostamj welcomed me to DU on my very first post.

All three of these amazing men are now dead.

I also count among my departed friends the brilliant William Rivers Pitt, whom I also had met. What a terrible loss to all of us. I was in shock.

Here's a photo that includes William Rivers Pitt:


And here's one that shows WCGreen:

Were here when I finally joined. I was a lurker for years prior.

14. I miss Mr. Benchley most

I don't precisely remember how he got cross-wise with the powers that be, but his diaries about Bob Boudelang, Angry American Patriot, were unalloyed gold.

15. Back when the internet still had promise.
