Should someone check on him to see if everything is

A couple of years ago I was exchanging email with a guy down in Texas
about his TRS-80 Model 1 which he wanted to give way. Didn't hear from
in a while, so I sent an "what's up" message. Got a message some time
later from his daughter that he passed away shortly after that message.
Strangely enough he packaged up the computer before he passed away and
his daughter was kind enough to send it.
Weird.
It happens. I had a similar experience with someone local to me in
Houston. Strangely enough, I got a well used and fairly complete TRS-80
Model 1 from that person. I *really* regret not getting all the QST, Radio
Electronics, etc magazines from him now, but at least I got the 80 Micro
magazines.
One day I'm gonna have to finish rebuilding the Selectric printer that
came with it and put pictures of it and the interface box up...
