    I was told by e-mail from Bill Swisher that he found on Facebook a
    notice
    that our former moderator and host of many Echo Picnics had fallen from his twig. That is sad news indeed.

    I'm sorry to hear this. It seems that our group ius getting smaller
    every year. RIP, Dale.

    Newer isn't always better. It's why I oved my BBS to as 64-bit Linux system
    so it can live on. I'm finally porting my doors for DOS and making them
    open source so they can live on also.

    (No recipe as I'm reponding via the BBS.)

    I still learn new stuff every day. Yesterday I learned that the SESTAR
    BBS is *not* run by Marc Lewis. It has been one of my regular stops for
    longer than I can remember. But, Marc is in Birmingham Alablamma and the
    SESTAR BBS is in North Carolina. No idea who is the operator but it's a
    nicely done BBS.

    I'm signed up with Lewis' "Sursum-Corda" .... now if I can finger out
    how to add echoes to me packet scan .... I've already exchanged several
    e-mails w/Marc and I hate to be a total pest - even tho he's been very
    helpful.

    So, I did a search on-line for "SysOp Recipe" (using the quotes) and I
    got this as my only actual recipe result .....

    Most of Tom's work is hilarious. There is a lady on IG that does funny skits to some of his tunes (and other older but suprisingly risque tunes).
