<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dick Archer, Technical Director at Cornell
University, mentor to many of us, and longtime contributor to
the list has passed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He was recently moved into Hospice, and
surrounded by family at the time of his passing.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He had been battling liver cancer (ironic,
as he never touched drugs or alcohol) for the last year and
change.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dick has been an incredible resource to
many of us over the years. He was a stagehand at Woodstock,
mentored Tom Hanks (as a stagehand, not actor) at the Great
Lakes Theatre, and worked as both a Professor at Cornell and
freelance TD for the last several decades.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He was a sometimes curmudgeon (though never
with a bit of spite), with a fantastic sense of humor who was
almost world famous for his ability to mutter under his breath
(somewhat like Yosemite Sam), while making himself perfectly
clear.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dick was fantastically talented, brilliant,
and extremely practical.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His list of professional accomplishments
are way to long to list here. But suffice it to say, he will
be missed by many.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I count myself very lucky to have been his
friend.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I propose a toast, and raise a glass of
something that Dick would not drink (I prefer scotch, Dick
would have milk and cookies) to a fantastic man, a friend, a
mentor, a sounding board, a human encyclopedia… and someone
whom I will miss very much.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">-To Dick!<o:p></o:p></p>
