[OT] HyperCard Nostalga: Remembering Raz

[Rob Cozens]

All,

As I was apologizing to Mark W. & Geoff C. for venting re: responses to 
other posts to the thread than the one I was quoting, I picked up a 
faint feeling of deja vu.  It took me a while to remember the 
circumstances, and low and behold, I dredged up a name:

Mike (?) Rasberry, grandson of a Chestnut, from Orange, Texas.

The Raz, more than anyone else I know of, had the ability to come up 
with one- or two- line HyperTalk handlers when the rest of us needed 
three or four times as many statements to accomplish the same task.

Raz died unexpectedly at an early age a decade or more ago.

What a loss to the Xtalk community!
