I did not know Boyd well.

When I first heard the news, I went back through my email reading our
interactions, all through the mailing list.  I liked Boyd a lot.  I
wish I knew him well.

I don't think he would have considered me a friend.  I don't even know
if he would recognize my name on the mailing list.  Would I attend his
wake if I were around?  I don't know.  Would he attend mine?  I don't
know there, either.

I do know he'd be welcome at mine, and maybe that's all that matters.

I hope seeing our names on the absent friends list lets his friends
and family know that in some way he made an impression on us.  And I
will miss him.

Please add my name to the list.

-Jack
