We sat und= er the stars out by the pool at the last Texas convention for a few hour= s sharing stories about the old days (which weren't so long ago) and th= e state of the biz, and I remember being struck by the size of his= spirit. A few years ago we had a little ripple but as time went by it= turned out he was right too. We laughed about that. I'm glad we had that t= ime, it was well spent, and he was a man well met. It is some small solace= that he went in his sleep and did not suffer, he didn't deserve to. Guy lo= omed large and he will be missed. May his soul soar. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chris Solliday</FONT></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Thank you, Chris, for this thoughtful comments. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Last night I sent a post to the Awards Committee, requesting that Guy b= e given the Member of Note award, posthumously.
