Russ passed away during one of my hiatii from here, so I had no idea he was gone. This sucks. First Albi, now Russ. There really are some great people here and I'm really sad. Russ was a good guy.
Seems we've lost a few. I miss 'em all; Albi in particular (that's kinda selfish -- he had so much left to teach me!). I'd vote for just keeping their birthdays alive - a day for them individually, in remembrance. Voting the Pope's ticket on this one. ;)
