[AT] Cecil Monson

[Rob Gray]

I've been on the list since '95 and I had kept many of the e-mails from 
Cecil, both to the list and ones he sent directly to me in response to a 
question I had asked. Unfortunately my hard drive failed about three 
years ago so all of my older saved e-mails are gone, although I have the 
more recent ones.

The great thing about Cecil was that he could not only tell a very good 
story in an interesting way, but he also had a lot of knowledge to 
impart. He wrote very well and was a someone I really appreciated 
getting advice from.
