[TheForge] Fwd: [sandbox] Glen Connor's son

[Jerry Frost]

Glenn called last night and we talked for a while, I think he needed some 
cheering up and I got him to laugh a few times.

Sean died of natural causes suddenly, sunday. Sean was a honor student who 
had the tough job of choosing one of several full ride scholarships, a mere 
B was almost unheard of from him. He was a co-founder of IFI as well as a 
near-full time admin on the site. He's been demoing smithing since he was 8 
years old or so and a known smith of considerable accomplishments.

I didn't converse with Whitesmith very often on IFI but read everything he 
posted, he was not only very knowledgable he was superbly eloquent.

It was a tough call last night Glenn and I shared a few tears and a couple 
laughs. Sean would want a raucous wake rather than a mournful rememberance.
