This was tough news to read, finally, but I'm glad the information was posted. I haven't been spending much time on the forum for the last couple of years or so, and just now decided to try to do some catching up. Still into fta, but got interested in other electronic-areas, like OTA=tv dxing, and police scanner radios, listening in on the aircraft freqs a lot too. Must've been about the time 'nole was diagnosed-I noticed that he hadn't been on forum a lot, was one reason I stopped checking in here myself. I enjoyed Rich's humor, and he was really swift on electronics, used to PM a lot with him. And, I posted several anole pics in my messages 3-4yrs ago, mostly for his enjoyment- like watching the little fellows around the yard/garden here. I'll miss him a lot.
