Digital BW, The Print

Hi All,

Receiving my e-mails from the list today I could not help but notice the
"Sad News" subject line. I knew that this couldn't be a good thing! I was
shocked to open Clayton's message and see that Jerry Olson had passed
unexpectedly. Having never met the man I felt, like probably most of you,
that I knew him through many e-mail exchanges, etc. In my early days of
quadtone printing I had sent Jerry many newbie-type questions because I had
bought a digital B&W print of his that I really admired. He was always
gracious with his time and answered every one of my e-mails. I very much
respected his opinion and will sorely miss his contributions to this forum.

My thoughts are with Jerry's family and loved ones,
Alan Huntley
