Looks like Blinky to me, nb There's a photo of him under the 'In
Memoriam" section on the rfc web site.

And I would like to thank ChattyCathy for maintaining this web site for all
of us.

As Jill mentioned, his picture is on the rfc home page, under in
memoriam. That same picture was on the mugshots page last couple of
times I checked while he was alive (gone now). I try to check the
mugshots page about once a month. Sometimes there's no change, but it's
still nice to get my memory jogged about what people look like.

If you are really, really interested, there is other stuff accessible on
the stuff subdirectory, listed somewhere in this newsgroup.

I remember there being two okra pictures, but I guess the other one
dropped off my browser history.

There's a lot to miss about Blinky and his sense of humour is right up
there at the top.
