I can say over the last 30 years or so, I enjoyed a
number of
exchanges with CJL.
I did enjoy the repartee - iirc most of it was just between us, but
some was in some 8 related channel.
I found him knowledgeable, opinionated, but most of the time just
plain fun to argue with.
Over the last 6 or 7 years, sparse contact, but always remembered fondly.
Sorry to see him pass.

Oh wow, I just realized what you're talking about here....I spoke with him
on the phone two months ago...He said he was not well but he did not
elaborate. I did not know him well but I am sorry to hear this happened.
From what I knew of him, very knowledgeable and
passionate about the PDP
8. He said he had his own OS that he wanted me to try out,
I hope someday
to get a copy of the RK05 boot pack.
