[AccessD] Drew Wutka memorial ideas

I know I don't post a lot but I have been subscribed to this list for a
few years.  It was very obvious how well respected Drew was on this list
and I think the family would really like to know that.  Small world,
turns out my wife has been working with Drew's sister-in-law (married to
Drew's brother) for a few years now.  They are reading tutors and sit
right next to each other every day.  My jaw dropped when my wife told me
last night about Amy's brother-in-law passing away this week.  I would
be glad to help get any condolences, memories, etc to the family.

I think they should be forwarded to the family.  They might not know he
was "published".

they're just old technical journals and throw them out. On the other
hand, they might not care -- I just don't know -- it's not like they're
great literature or anything, but I think...
