[FRIAM] Passing of Carl Tollander

[steve smith]

Carl was the one I was most likely to sit with and talk one-on-one 
during WedTech luncheons when we both used to attend (decade or more 
ago?) semi-regularly.   I also acutely remember when he brought the 
Taiko Drum group (just forming) to SFx circa 2008?  It was quite a scene 
and the old railcar garage had great acoustics for them as I remember!

We haven't celebrated too many losses in the FriAM constituency have we?

I remember when someone (Kevin Kelly) made the point on The WELL (whole 
earth lectronic link, circa 1990) that a virtual "community" wasn't a 
proper community until it experienced at least one wedding and one 
funeral.  I think the WELL has experienced much larger attrition than we 
have.

Offhand, I only know of Doug, Hywell, now Carl, and I'm thinking we lost 
Vladymir ??? from Canada to the Grim Reaper ("Смерть"). Peter Lissaman 
(Gossamer Albatross fame) was a SFx regular for a while  as were Fred 
(Unterseher) and Becky though neither were FriAM...who we lost over the 
last roughly 4 years.... sorry to go into morbid list-making...
