The Fidonews at a Glance
Will this grief stricken year never end? Once again we received report
that one of our friends passed away. In "Another one gone", you can
read some of the comments, on Bennie Hutto's passing away, from the
echo FN_SYSOP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FIDONEWS 19-48 Page 2 2 Dec 2002

A TRIBUTE TO BENNIE HUTTO
=================================================================
Another one gone
Some say we only quickly pass by this level of the game called life,
and then move on to the next level. If so, it seems Bennie Hutto
managed to vanquish that last daemon, shoot that last monster, find
that last clue, or whatever it takes to move on, before the rest of us
remaining managed to. Let's hope we can keep up with him on the next
level, if ever we make it there.
This is a collection from some of his friends in the echo FN_SYSOP,
where he's been active for a long time. We miss you Bennie, but we
hope you find the next level more pleasant than this one may have
been.
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Jack Yates
It is with the utmost regret that I relay this news:
Bennie Hutto, 1:3613/360, has left us forever. He passed away last
night, peacefully, while sleeping, after a years-long battle with
chronic illness. Bennie was about 43, give or take a year, childless
and (I believe) had never married.
Bennie was a special friend of mine. Lin and I were guests in his
home in Augusta, GA a couple of years ago as we passed through on the
way to visit family in North Carolina. We talked often, at least
weekly, on the 'phone, our chats ranged from computer-techie stuff to
woodcutting, cooking to networking, and our respective dogs.
Funeral arrangements, etc., are unclear at this time as there has been
difficulty determining and locating any members of his family
excepting his mother, who lives in New Orleans.
Bennie was an asset to Fidonet and my friend; I will miss him very
much.
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Phil Simpson
Awfully sorry to hear of this. Way too young to make /that/ trip. :(
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Janis Kracht
I'm so very sorry to hear about this Jack.. Bennie was a great
fellow, quick to be there if anyone needed him, for anything.
Did you know that Bennie was one of the first long distance callers I
FIDONEWS 19-48 Page 3 2 Dec 2002
had on my BBS _years and years_ ago.. Here's my boring little
programmer's bbs in Middletown, NY, and in comes this caller all the
way from Down South <g>.. I'll never forget that :) He called pretty
regularly after that <smile>.
He was a great guy, and this is a real loss to all of us in Fidonet.
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Bob Short
Egads, but this comes as a complete surprise to me, as I'm sure it
does to many others. I was aware some problems, but none life
threatening!
Coming on the heels of Clay's passing... What a loss for us all. ,-(
Many were the jabs exchanged in the Worst Echo In Fidonet (tm), and
good were the discussions in other echos. I too will miss him very
much.
I think I'll go to my local pub and raise a pint in his honor...
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Sean Dennis
<speechless>
Dear God... I had just spoken to Bennie voice not that long ago! I am
planning still on moving to Atlanta next year and I was looking
forward to meeting Bennie... this is really a shocker for me. I never
knew he was ill... he never sounded like it to me and he always had a
smile in his voice.
He was a friend to me also, even though I never met him in person. He
was too young to die. :(
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Barry Blackford
I am really saddened to hear of the loss of Bennie, I knew his health
was poorly but never really thought we'd lose him......
I will remember him..
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Klaus Kulbarsch
Oh no! So young and such a friendly man. I'm very sad to hear this.
Whom the gods love mostly they will take first...

Damn, this year seems to have taken it's toll on fellow Fido members
and their family, with death and serious illnesses.
I will miss Bennie.
On a lighter note, I'll always remember his quick wit with funny
anecdotes and one-liners that always brought a smile to my face and
laughter to my soul. I'll remember him this way.
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Michiel van der Vlist
How sad.
43 is MUCH too young. :-(
May he rest in peace.
-------------------------------------------------------
By: Dan Ceppa
Definitely a fighter!
I'm proud to have met him via FIDO.

FIDONEWS INFORMATION
=================================================================
How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
probably quite OK...
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..
Ideas for Subject areas:
Subject File | Subject File
----------------------------------|----------------------------------
From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net
Retractions *.rtx | General Fidonet Articles *.art

Fidonet's Int. Kitchen *.rec | Poet's Corner *.poe
Clean Humor & Jokes *.jok | Other Stuff *.oth
Fidonet Classified Ads *.ads | Corrections *.cor
Best of Fidonet *.bof |
If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.
