Rest in peace, Garth

I was shocked to hear that Garth FairChang died this morning. Although I've only spoken to the FairChangs a handful of times, they just "meant" Second Life to me in so many ways. One of the first things - or perhaps the first - I bought was a FairChang Futura, from the big end shop at Luna. I used to sail over to Tabor to buy parrots, and it was a very nice thing when they decided to release many of their things for free. They were creative, community-minded, sensible, and I felt like they were the parents of us all. My thoughts go out to Pituca, in this sad time.
