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
