I regret to inform you that one of our own, Ben Ritchey, passed away on June 27 at the age of 65.
I will miss him a lot. He helped me for decades with FTN technology questions and provided me with many things, including his source code
to the current Elist bot. We were working together on an issue
concerning MOD RUL updates not working.
Time marches on and waits for no man, sadly.
Rest in peace, Ben.
Bummer .... none of us get out of here alive. But, we're seldom ready
when the journey is over. I only knew Ben from his sporadic
appearances in the Cooking Echo - but, 65 is young (says the 77 year
old).
All we can do is live it by a bit of philosophy I picked up from a Datsun/Nissan ad on the glass teat ... "Life's a journey. Enjoy the
ride."
It's worked for me - so far.

Ben was active in Fidonet for a very long time. I started officiallyin Fidonet in 1996 as a point and in 1998 as a node. He was around then.
ben's first address appeared in Aug 1997... not sure
how accurate that is, though... some nodelists may be
missing on that site but for now, it is the best we
have...
