It occurs to me that there are several PDP-8'ers
here. Quite some time ago,
at least 1992, I got involved with a group of people, and one of them was
Charley Lasner. As far as reptutation went, he was the guru of -8s. He lived
in NYC at the time, and I visited him for the weekend. Actually, it was the
very same weekend that ST:TNG premired, because I was little disappointed
that I missed it, but I figured hacking was more important!
So, does anyone remember him or know how to reach him?
This hit the pdp8-lovers mailing list last year:

Subject: RE: [PDP8-Lovers] What Happened to Charles Lasner?
I'm a long-time, close personal friend of Charlie's --- we've known each
other and worked together for nearly 30 years now, dating back to the early
days of the -8. I got concerned about him about a year ago, and tracked him
down through his brother. He's doing fine, spending much of his time on
Long Island with a new (at that time) female friend. His e-mail address
hasn't changed ( lasner@s...). I don't know why he's dropped out
of the PDP8-Lovers discussion. As far as I know he's alive and well and
happy, but probably preoccupied with a variety of projects and interests.
