Re: Bevan Schroeder



I have a few things to add...

First of all, I plan on showing up Friday night and leaving Sunday night.
I haven't yet decided if I'll be driving down or flying down. The only
real difference is, with driving I have to take time off work and then
leave Sunday afternoon.

Second, I plan to bring a sleeping bag, so all I'll really need is
a piece of a floor. Thanks to all the San Diegans who are offering
a place to stay. You may want to take a list of names of 
out-of-towners who need a place, and locals who are offering, and some
how divide up the list.

Third, here's my paragraph. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will remember Bevan as a friend who was consistently helpful, friendly,
and selfless.  On many occasions, he willingly offered assistance, both
technical and otherwise. One such occasion especially stands out in my mind.
A few years ago, several students discovered that UCSD's Computer Science
Department planned to terminate Dr. Keith Muller, a widely-respected professor,
in order to save some money.  Many of us were outraged, and began to toss
around the idea of a petition. Bevan stepped up, and strongly encouraged us to
organize a petition.  As the plan solidified, Bevan was one of the few who
lead the work on the petition. I was proud to be able to work with Bevan, and
was proud to see the petition eventually have an influence on Dr. Muller's
employment. I admired Bevan's many good qualities, and will truely miss him.
