We had a similar situation in the R-390A community. Our guy's name was Nolan Lee, he lived in Florida, IIRC, & he was the was enuf of a comedian to keep you in stitches while he took one of those complicated machines apart.... He definitely one of the "Sages" of the R-390 series, but he was also very quick to help a Noob along. He was there when I first found the internet. But several years' later, he just dropped off the map, which was unnerving, as he also wa one of the more frequent posters. A couple guys did some checking, & found out he'd had a massive, debilitating stroke. He barely even knew who HE was, & all the wealth of Boatanchor knowledge went by the wayside. I THINK I remember reading that his health deteriorated even further, & he passed on. Don't know how old he was, but a snapshot of him made him look like he coulds been anywhere from late twenties to his sixties. Helluva note.
