People I knew before they had a Web site

These days, one can meet new people via their Web sites. This list honors the older custom of meeting people in the real world (and then finding them on the Web).

• Bill Caloccia is a MacBuddy, a deranged stuffed critter tester, and an amazing QuickTime VR photographer.
• Bob Clark is my nephew and cyberentrepreneur.
• Bob Peterson and I worked together at Digital (R.I.P.), Open Market, and now Ten League Boots.
• Catherine Holmes Clark is one I've known longest -- since we were both 13 years old!
• Dana Groff and I met years ago at DECmug (Macintosh Users Group at Digital).
• Deb O'Hanlon, who I met at First Parish, has her fingers in many Web sites.
