   Watching a video which includes packing down rock and gravel reminded   
   of Mac's contributions to the group.  Aside from civil engineering, he   
   was also a sailor (cats, I think; my multihull experience was crewing   
   on a 24' tri with decent bunks).  Oh, and he was doing the author thing   
   with SF stories, IIRC.   
      
   I miss 'im.  And a bunch of other poster children.
