My dear friend James Armstrong passed away in his sleep over the weekend. James and I had been friends for roughly 30 years, since we both participated in the r.s.b.c. Usenet group while I was still in college. A true gentleman, James had been battling kidney disease, but had just been listed as a transplant candidate at several different hospitals and was hopeful of getting a new kidney before the end of the year. James loved travel, fine food, bird watching, UNIX, and of course Duke basketball. Rest in peace, Alpha Geek.
I met with James many times at DBR functions and at games. He was a good man, and will forever be remembered as the man who first uttered the words "Air Ball" at a basketball game in Cameron (or anywhere) - the 7-0 halftime game vs. carolina.
