Hi Folks,

Many of you know Geary Rachel from Texas. For years he was active on the forums and a frequent conference attendee.

Geary's longtime friend and business partner, Leland Fondren, called me today to give me some unhappy news and asked me to pass it along to everyone...

As you may know, Geary has had well more than his share of physical difficulties over the years; they finally ganged up on him. He passed away earlier today after the latest in a number of surgeries didn't pan out.

I don't currently have an address or other information; I'll post another message in a few days once I hear more - and you can always email me directly - whil@hentzenwerke.com.

I don't know what else to say; while we're sad to see him go, given the multitude of problems he's faced since the mid-90's, this is the best route for him.

He's been a true contributor to our community. Keep his family and relatives in your thoughts and prayers.

Whil
