Longtime Doper **LiveOnAPlane** has passed away unexpectedly. He wrote a [humorous reminiscence](http://www.teemings.net/series_2/issue_02/going_hunting.html) of his boyhood in the last issue of _teemings_, and was going to have another piece in the upcoming issue. I emailed him yesterday about the latter, and his daughter responded today with news of his death. He was 60 years old. ---
