LDM-Users,
This evening, one of the lists more prolific LDM users, Jeff Lake, passed away
this evening due to complications from MS.
Over the years, I got to know Jeff through this list as he operated his private
business. He would ask me about LDM actions and how to do things, but he
quickly got good enough to start learning about its limitations, and the
occasional bug.
In fact, a few years ago, Steve Emmerson gave Jeff and I a beta copy of the
LDM. We then had an internal contest to see which one of us could find the most
bugs. In the past, I usually won those "contests", but on this one, even though
I found a handful of bugs, Jeff blew me out the water. He, like me, wanted to
be cutting edge, and make the LDM the best it could be. As a result, his work
benefitted all of us, making the LDM more stable as the bugs were found, and
then crushed by Steve Emmerson. He was a pleasure to work with, and I will miss
him.
My condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends, who are in
mourning tonight.
