Re: [Ntp] FYI: Dave Mills has passed away

I had the opportunity to meet him in 1988 or so.  I had left MIT and was no longer working on networking for them, but was doing drivers for FTP Software and KA9Q and other router packages.  I went to UDel to hear Dave talk about the Fuzzballs (from which the MIT C-gateway was heavily influenced).

Dave was funny, engaging, modest, enthusiastic, passionate, and approachable...

I had hoped he would be at IETF 102 but I think even then his health wasn't permitting it.
