This is some very sad news I received this week from Ben Ritchey's daughter.
Ben died on June 27th,2019. Fidonet lost a great man this week, and I lost a great friend :(
Ben was a wonderful guy who worked with me from early in my fidonet career to the week just before he died. He loved Fidonet and was happy to spend time updating not only the echolist, but the software we use to maintain our database of echotags and moderators.
When my own family ran into problems a few years ago with keeping echolist@filegate.net going, Ben was happy to help out by setting up a mirror at Nick's system.. That mirror continues today along with echolist@filegate.net.
Ben's daughter sent me a copy of Ben's obituary, you can find it here:
We're working on getting the information we need to keep the NAB echolist up to date, thank you to Nick Andre for helping out with this!
Deepest sympathies to the family, and thanks to all in Fidonet who continue to keep the Echolist and all the other FDNs going...
And... If you take a look at filegate.zxx that was hatched out this evening, you can see by all the TBA notations in that file just how much work Ben dedicated to Fidonet every day when he was with us. He will be greatly missed :(
