 KW> Interesting, there's a George Hatchew on FB that went to school in
Michigan

if we're looking at the same profile, that one apparently graduated in 1966...
somehow i suspect that that's a little old for the BW author but maybe not...
reading thorough that timeline, there is a "thanks for the birthday posts" on
Sept 8 2013 so that gives us a little more information to work with... the
last (public) activity on that account was April 6, 2014 when they updated
their profile picture to that of the red Corvette Stingray...

then there's a "george hatchew ii" that also shows up but that one may be too
young based on the few photos found...

 KW> -- the Cutting Edge Computing mailing address was just down the road.

if one of the above is the BW george hatchew, it almost begs the question of
the accident... the report(s) that were posted said that it was very severe
and it didn't seem like GH would survive or if they did they would have
problems for the rest of their life... martin pollard might have more
information if anyone can find him these days...

when you have finally got it exactly the way you want it, what are you going
to do with the people like you? The trouble makers. How are you going to
protect your glorious revolution from the next one?"
