Rest in Peace old friend
Gentlemen
Just wanted to interrupt discussions for a moment to report the passing of a great friend of us all, although unknown to many of you here.
My partner in helping John Tiller create many/most of these titles, certainly all of the maps and many hundred scenarios, Dave "Blackie" Blackburn, has passed away quietly in his sleep with Lung Cancer.
Blackie was a great friend and partner who touched many lives, including all of yours.
I recall an email from him once after a long day map making, where he said, "Glenn, I need to take a break .....I looked up and saw hexes on the cat"
I know Blackie was proud of the work complied over the years. He was a very private man who told none of his cyber friend that he was even sick. We are all in shock with the news.
You will be missed my friend. Rest peacefully!
Regards
Glenn Saunders
