My condolences here as well. Has anyone recently archived the site either on the internet archive or a personal mirror? We wouldn’t want to lose their legacy of a wealth of information and data. -Ian L. On Sat, Sep 30, 2023 at 09:53 Christian Liendo via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Walter's wife Susan is keeping some of the stuff going. I don't know how much of it, or for how long. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
