don't know that one, Steve
Plotit days not sure he ever made it to Blue White,. he had cancer and would report on his progress.........
He did make it over to BWI....RIP
Just a little clarification, assuming that I remember things correctly.
Cheese Lion was on the Plotit board, and joined the migration to BWI when I moved the board in 2001.
I'm pretty sure he was in Wisconsin, though if not, it was somewhere in the midwest.
My memory is that his health issues were heart related. He did post about his issues, his recovery, etc. There was one, possibly two (I'm not certain) timeframes where he was off the board for some interval due to surgery.
Alas, at some point after he hadn't posted for quite some time, somebody on the board mentioned that they hadn't seen anything from him in quite some time. The moderators and I did put some effort into trying to track down Cheese/his family, to see if we could learn what happened to him. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful.
Cheese Lion was always positive about PSU. No matter the situation, he'd always see things from the perspective of how he expected the team, or the coaches, to respond to this or that adversity, and beat whatever team was next on the schedule.
Cheese also was somewhat forthcoming about his family. At this point, I don't recall the specifics, but I think (not certain) that he had one or two daughters.
Cheese was one of the reasons why, after many years of running the board, I started to occasionally remind folks to leave instructions for their spouse or for their kids, in terms of how to log on to the board, and for them to post something to let us know about the loss of a member of our board community. I haven't mentioned that in some time, but I do encourage many of you to include a set of instructions for that in the paperwork/files you prepare for your family in case something happens to you.
