    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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. ;)

    I've been through Meridian MS four times this week and relayed the Island message to Russ (every time I pass by the "Queen City Truck Stop") , "We miss ya Buddy".

    I have left both Albert and Russ on my email lists, still see their avatars on my phones and such.

    Set it up so they don't disappear. Gonna leave it that way too.

    One thing i noticed by being in the hobby 30 years, the early logbook has "SK" in it a lot. :(

    Each of our SKs should have a day of remembrance of their own, rather than sharing.
    There's no problem with calling it a birthday, as their birth was not negated by their death, and the mechanism needs no changing.

    And who says they're gone? Those bar tabs are going up MUCH faster than even the hardiest of living Islanders can manage alone. I suggest we put up a GhostCam near the bar and investigate the matter.
