My condodolences :-( Did he bring his drum to one of the FRIAM meetings? I have
read he was an avid drummer like Richard Feynman himself or even better.There
were so many interesting people in this list, like Doug Roberts for instance,
who used to have a parrot farm address, but as a remote participant I do not
know if he really had a parrot farm or if it was just as a name for his
company. I remember that one of you had a real parrot on his shoulder in one of
the Zoom meetings, but I don't remember who :-/I wonder if we have a volunteer
who would like to write down a few words about this group and its members,
including Carl and Doug? Maybe Tom as a journalist? If everybody contributes a
few sentences about Carl and Doug we have already a whole page about each of
them. If we have one day enough content we can (self-) publish it as a book.
Even if nobody of us finds out anything special or how the world works it would
be a good memory.Jochen

of Carl Tollander
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

I have similar regrets, Stephen. I live a five

the first people I met at Bios.
