The news, courtesy of daughter:
Grandad, whom Longrider and I knew as Richard … well, the three of us started up Martin Scriblerus, while Longrider and I started up Orphans … obviously with other fine folk too.
There is Richard’s wife, plus at least one daughter I know of. She is the one who posted.
One of the interesting aspects was that Richard liveblogged the whole saga, not unlike Grandpa at Orphans and I also fully intend to do so if possible, when the time approaches.
Many thoughts about the whole saga.
