calzephyr | Tugrik passed

tugrik passed sometime recently. Although I didn't know him, I knew of him, I have been thinking about a lot of older fandom folks.

It made me recall the passing of a local model horse collector and how some Canadian collectors are trying to collect hobby history--photos, older models, etc.

It's wild to think so much fandom is just sitting around in people's memories, if not a box of fanzines in the attic or tapes and hard drives gathering dust somewhere. What do we do with these memories? It seems like a miracle LJ and DW are still around. More than one site I frequented has gone away, if I can remember the name of them at all! It seems like a job for AI to sift and sort through.
