Where are they now ?

I was at work talking with work colleague, we side tracked onto projects we had done many years ago, got on subject on mailers and terminal programs, I remembered Bmailer (Bdale's messy mailer), I thought whatever happened to those packet radio guys from early 1980's.
I recalled some names and decided to look them up:
Bdale Garbee KB0G  - still working and active.
Phil Karn  KA9Q  -  wow,  Phil is retired
Brian Kantor WB6CYT  -  still active with AMPRNET
Doug Lockhart VE7APU -   sadly Doug became silent key  in Sept 2017, age 76.
Hank Magnuski KA6M - amazing  I just discovered Hank involved in Gammafax.    Our company sold and integrated their gear with our software back in the 90's, small world.
Stu Beal VE3MWM  - possibly silent key
Dave Borden K8MMO -  he move to central west USA, I guessing he retired
Paul Rinaldo W4RI - looks to have retired a while ago.

a lot of very intelligent people, successful in their careers and heavily contributed to the hobby.
