From this morning's Spokane Spokesman-Review:
John was known on AU as jmbgeg. I didn't know him well, having only met him in person once, that at the 2011 Gathering in Seattle, but we did IM back and forth some. From his correspondance, I know he was a staunch passenger rail supporter as well as a staunch Republican, something you don't see much of. Our congressional representative is not exactly an Amtrak supporter, but John was on a first-name basis with her and made sure to let her know how he stood on the matter of Amtrak funding. I hadn't heard from him in some time, and was wondering how he was doing. I guess I found out.
R.I.P John and condolences to friends and family.
