Old Friends

Looking at Fans' dedication for the first time in years made me decide to track down the people who helped inspire the series, back in the day.

Greg Eatroff and I still see each other frequently, his Livejournal is here. Sara Cole and I do, too, but Sara doesn't have much of an online footprint outside of what I put here.


Chris Siefert:
Busy at Sandia National Laboratories. Chris is such a great guy that he never even saw fit to bring up that Mobil had acquired a program he was working on in college. I didn't find out for years. Looks like Chris is doing really interesting research; I'm gonna have to spend more time looking it over. Hmmm, he has an e-mail addy...

David Larochelle is, or at least was, a PhD student at UVA. I can't find anything about his activities post-2003, but he and I saw each other after that. We'll see if his e-mail address still works.

Hunter Keeton
is still in my call list; I attended his wedding and I've enjoyed the occasional visit with him and his lovely wife. Looks like he helped do a speech on the risks of giving sweepstakes recently. He and I could stand to catch up.

Matt and Liz Brooks maintain photo albums of their lives and family. I just found out they're expecting again. Liz does most of the albumming, really. Liz's journal is here, with miscellaneous additions here and another one here. She's one of the most prolific autobiographers I know.

Matt is here. He recently shaved his head to raise money to fight childhood cancer.

KT Hicks,
married to Kevin Hicks (who seems altogether offline). Older Livejournal here. I saw Kevin and KT at Sara's baby shower for a bit, which was nice, though we don't sync our nerd wavelengths as easily as I do with Greg. (Things bogged down in a "Thundercats v. Transformers" debate.)

Ashby Gunter:
mostly offline now. I last wrote about him here.

I have no idea what happened to Marc Cassell or John Baird. Their names are too common for me to be sure of any of the Google hits.

Colleen Cawood is in the periphery of my circle; last I heard, she was married with a child. I'll probably see her at a reunion sometime. Very hardworking person, was juggling two jobs on top of college courses. I should just ask our mutual friends about her.

Hug a friend today! You won't stay close to everyone you know!
