I was quite sorry to hear about FM as well.  I had read in an article about 
him posted on the Web earlier this year that he was in poor  health, though 
still active teaching.  His writings and the few conversations I've had with 
him (the first one on a radio talkshow in Tulsa I called into, back in 1989, 
when he appeared to promote his book _Are You a Transhuman?_) have meant a 
great deal to me.
