Any "where are they now" updates for the other founding or early members of the C/FO?

Post by mbanu »

I know Mark Merlino is still around, although mostly active in furry fandom.

Wendell Washer has a website, although not really updated. The internet suggests he's living in retirement in Mission Hills, CA; I suppose Fred Patten was a bit of an oddity with his heavy use of the internet as a person in his 70s.

I know Mark Kausler posted on Cartoon Research at times, like Fred Patten, and has a blog: http://itsthecat.com/blog/

Does anyone know what happened to Judy Niver or Robin Leyden?
