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

 ML> if we're looking at the same profile, that one apparently graduated in
 ML> 1966... somehow i suspect that that's a little old for the BW author
 ML> but maybe not...

That's possible... it would make him about my age, which would make
sense from what I remember about the earlier days, when things were in
active development...  :)

 ML> reading thorough that timeline, there is a "thanks for
 ML> the birthday posts" on Sept 8 2013 so that gives us a little more
 ML> information to work with... the last (public) activity on that account
 ML> was April 6, 2014 when they updated their profile picture to that of
 ML> the red Corvette Stingray... 
 ML> then there's a "george hatchew ii" that also shows up but that one may
 ML> be too young based on the few photos found...

Could be a son... or a nephew...  :)

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

 ML> if one of the above is the BW george hatchew, it almost begs the
 ML> question of the accident... the report(s) that were posted said that
 ML> it was very severe and it didn't seem like GH would survive or if
 ML> they did they would have problems for the rest of their life...

I seem to remember also, though, that he may have recovered at least
somewhat from the accident, but that he got a job working at some
software firm where they would own any new work he did while working for
them, so that was another factor in his putting any further development
for Cutting Edge on hold, possibly permanently...  Although, I could
have my timeline a little mixed there... the accident might have come
second... it's been quite a while now... :)

 ML> martin pollard
 ML> might have more information if anyone can find him these days...

Another person who's gone missing in the interim...
