Really well educated, he was a theologian. Saw combat in Northern Ireland.
Was caught up in the Kent State shootings, he was there to visit his girlfriend. His picture is one of the most iconic of the 20th century.
That's him in the fringed jacket and his face turned away. You will never find the identity of the person in that photo on line. I know his name was Allison ( it's a Scottish unisex name ) , Sandy for short.

He used to write Dr. Who story lines for the BBC. For realz.
Skyfire used to alternately drive him nuts or make him laugh.
He kept out of most drama and never posted on the racy threads.
Always had kinds words and ear. : )

Not at all. I think most of us looked up to him.

« on: August 20, 2013, 08:49:05 pm »I think anyone that had any contact with him at all, even just reading an old post, was enough to leave a lasting impression.

I wish I just knew him at all. The way everyone is mourning him, and for how long after the fact, makes me wonder just how awesome he must have been.

I'm just so saddened to see that he has gone. : (
He was such a good man.
Damn I'm teary.

Sandman is not someone who should be forgotten, not just because he was an important member of this forum, but also because he was just such a wonderful person in general.
I wish the newer forumites could have had a chance to get to know him.
