   Michael Black to All   
   So Artie Traum has died   
   29 Jul 08 14:04:00   
   
   From: et472@ncf.ca   
      
   I realize this has become the "Will Dockery crossposting newsgroup",   
   and even before that it had declined significantly, but it is a reflection   
   of the state of the newsgroup that the passing of Artie Traum gets   
   no mention.   
      
   I'm sure people have caught the news elsewhere, those still reading   
   the newsgroup.  It was in the paper here I guess on the weekend,   
   coming from the newswire.  I gather he died on July 20th (a founder   
   of the Twin Oaks commune died in early July, and it took almost a month   
   before her obituary appeared in the local paper here).   
      
   I don't have anything to say really, except that he does seem to   
   deserve a mention.  I know his brother Happy has posted here in the past,   
   he replied to a post of mine about how John Sebastian had made the   
   auto harp hip.
