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.
