Matt--
I just got in tonight and saw this. I did not know Bryan personally, and
am not even sure if I met him. I hope you and his IRC group had a good and
meaningful time celebrating his life. Obviously that celebration will go
on. Please pass on the great esteem that everyone at GDW held him in,
hopefully that is of value. I wish that I could recall some concrete
stories to pass on, I'm sure there are some, but I can't recover them. I
just know that we used to talk about his stuff a lot, and his contribution
to an article or product would always lift it into starring status.
