Net 54 Hall of Fame??

[FrankWakefield]

I voted NO yesterday morning, but I've kept silent (difficult for me).


I knew Ted. Ted would have voted NO.

I haven't voted but agree.

That said, if there ever is a Net54baseball HOF, he will be a first HOF class inductee. I don't think anyone else has contributed more to the forum than Ted did. I will make sure those threads in the Archive section, at least of his, get updated.

And whomever mentioned, Jim Blumenthal, I agree also. He too would be right up there, though he didn't post nearly as much as Teddy. He was a great collector and really a super human being. Reading older threads, I still see his posts and it always brings back fond memories. Much the same way it will be with Teddy's posts.

Leon,

I think the Archive idea is the best solution to this. At the end of the day it works as a way to preserve wonderful knowledge and act as sort of a time capsule to the past. It's also a pleasant way to commemorate Teds contributions.

As much as I like Teddy Z, and I probably be the first one to vote for him, it would not be a good idea. Some people would be slighted that deserve to get in, and could possibly become too political.

I was just thinking about Jim today. I met him only once, just before he passed away (ten years ago this coming October). He said very little but asked me how I was feeling, expressed some compassion and wrote me a note in Sanskrit, which I still have today. If you ever met Jim, I suspect you never forgot him.

Anyway, I was thinking about him because, while looking for a book in my bookcase, I came across 'The Ornament of the Middle Way' (which he wrote) - I picked it up when I was studying Buddhism six or so years back.

Wonderful guy, and a great contributor, especially when it came to caramel cards.

I nominate Spaeth!
