As Gray said, this thread is itself not meant as a memorial page -- rather it is for discussing the creation of a memorial page. Also, it can serve as a place where we can post usernames and farewell threads to eventually add to the memorial page.

I second (forth?) june's ideas, but I made the same suggestion some years ago and was shot down, with prejudice.

One person I would very much like to mention here is (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20809) Andrew Dagilis. While I do not think he was particularly, or at all come to think of it, he was one of the FM reviewers at CoSaS - and a damn good one too, way more productive and methodical than
e.g. me.
As for a memorial page... To be honest, I don't know. On the one hand, it would be a nice gesture. On the other, even though I owe both my livelihood and much of what passes for social life for me to it, I still cannot bring myself to treat the Internet seriously.

June is kind of saying what I meant to, but expressed more eloquently, so I support that idea.

Just saw that it's Dusty's birthday today, and it felt appropriate to give him a proper nod. I liked every interaction I ever had with him here, and there were a lot over the years. I loved how oddly but in the end how oddly well he fit in here with the rest of us enthusiasts. I loved his stories. Was just looking at his facebook page and he has something like 30 hometowns listed all over the world. I loved how into he was in to the things he was into, and how much he liked to share them with us. But also how chilled out he was. He just took life as it came and was pleased with it. He loved life so much he couldn't wait to spend the next 80 years soaking it up like the last 80. Here's to you, old friend.

Thank you for the reminder, dema. He was definitely one of a very special kind.

Happy Birthday, Dusty.

I never used to post that much on ttlg but some years ago I was here Every. Single. Day.
Last night I signed in for the first time in years to see what was going on and stumbled on this thread (and others) after learning that Lady Rowena had passed over. I paused for thought after that. She and all the familiar names above are a real loss to the world. A memorial page would be appropriate and a stark reminder that people here are real and are missed.
Even though I'm not religious I just like to think that somewhere, sometime in an alternative universe there's a version of them all drinking in a tavern in Dayport telling dark and funny stories.
