Default Picture of Blinky

I'm not going nutzoid over tracking this stuff down, but I do read
news.software.readers and I came across this one post with an alleged
picture of Blinky and, having never seen anything but our landshark rfc pic of
Blinky, thought you folks might be interested in what appears to be a real
picture of our friend.

http://blinkynet.net/stuff/cc_and_b.jpg

I cannot find another link to http://blinkynet.net/stuff/ that doesn't give
me either a "forbidden" error page or if http://blinkynet.net/stuff/*, an
even more enigmatic and humorous Windows BSOD-like warning page. Knowing
Blinky's dislike for Windows, I'm not surprised.

Anyhoo.... if anyone has other pictures of the real Blinky, Lee Rizor, I
think it would be nice if we could all see them.

Looks like Blinky to me, nb There's a photo of him under the 'In
Memoriam" section on the rfc web site.

And I would like to thank ChattyCathy for maintaining this web site for all
of us.

As Jill mentioned, his picture is on the rfc home page, under in
memoriam. That same picture was on the mugshots page last couple of
times I checked while he was alive (gone now). I try to check the
mugshots page about once a month. Sometimes there's no change, but it's
still nice to get my memory jogged about what people look like.

If you are really, really interested, there is other stuff accessible on
the stuff subdirectory, listed somewhere in this newsgroup.

http://blinkynet.net/stuff/stone_2005_sm.jpg

I remember there being two okra pictures, but I guess the other one
dropped off my browser history.

There's a lot to miss about Blinky and his sense of humour is right up
there at the top.

Very nice of you and Jill to say so, nb (and Om). Although putting up
the names and/or pictures of people we all knew and liked (if only
online for some) on the 'In Memoriam' page is *not* one of my favorite
things about running the site.

I am pretty sure I can speak for most rfc-ers when I say we're gonna
miss them all.

We are indeed. :-(
Losing two of our favorite members over a period of two months is a bit
much to handle. <sigh> I adored Kili so very much, and liked Blinky a
great deal. I'll miss both of them terribly!

Are there any pictures available of Debra (I used to have one, but
lost it in a HD crash), Ken, Moosie, and Libby? I'd really like to be
able to put the names with a face, even if the face isn't here
anymore.
