This popped into my mailbox this morning:
===== Let me introduce myself. I am Richard T Ritter and worked at Zone VI Studios for 15 years under Fred Picker. At Zone VI I was responsible for the design and development of many of the products Fred thought would be an improvement to the fine art of black and white photography. In the nineties when Calumet bought Zone VI I left the company and started work to develop a business to the repair of large format equipment. Fred Picker for a number of years has been in poor health. He asked that his friends and family keep this to themselves. I'm sorry to report Fred Picker died on April 4, 2002.
