Cheers! Met him at my first Dev Con. Great guy. i remember him making the first Foxpro framework and being a part of the buy in group of 4 and testing of it here with the Memphis FPUG. John Harvey and myself are probably the only living of that group today. I will toast to all of those guys and gals lost over the years. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
