Back to the Roots has put up a page in memory of the life of Fredric Norton Fish III, aka Fred Fish. Fred passed away in April 2007 at the age of only 54 years. On this memorial page you will find pictures and a biography of Fred, and you may also download his life work. So long and thanks for all the fish, Fred.
For all of the benefits of the Internet, I hold fond memories of the BBS days when it was the new frontier. I met so many interesting people along the way. And the ones I hadn't, I felt I knew by their work. Fred Fish was one of them. He will be greatly missed. His legacy remains.
A great work in an era that we didn't have Internet and BBS communicating almost had an Elite status (especially in developing countries). For the rest of us, Amiga community was about disk swaping and magazine reading. PD was cool for everyone.
