Chuck Peddle has Passed Away
Saw some really sad news today, Chuck Peddle (inventor of the 6502) passed away on December 15th. https://www.team6502.org/ -Todd
It's amazing how it seems no one cares.. I even complained to my company that this should be in the obituary. On Sat, Dec 21, 2019 at 1:02 AM Todd George via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Yes. I think that the general public doesn't recognize his contribution. VCF added a comment on the website and the steering committee is hoping to do something to honor him for his passing as well as the 45th anniversary of the 6502. Here is a video from VCF East 4.0 (in 2007) where he was the keynote speaker at Commodore's 30th Anniversary (It is 1 of 4 videos uploaded by Dave Haynie): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBnmJhEOdC8&t=854s

I actually reached out to some people in the news room. I'm hoping to get a response.
Is this their response? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/24/technology/chuck-peddle-dead.html Merry Christmas, Andy On Mon, Dec 23, 2019, 2:13 PM Christian Liendo via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
