QUOTE of the DAY
================================================================
On a day of burial there is no perspective--for space itself is
annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being.
The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands
false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning.
The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence
is 'round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he
was--to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you.
Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and
whom you cannot detain.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Thank you to Ward Dossche, 2:292/854, for sending this in.
One night a Viking named Rudolph The Red was looking out the
window when he said "It's going to rain".
"How do you know?" asked his wife.
The reply : "Because Rudolph The Red knows rain, dear"

And then Bob is gone ...
Ward Dossche - 2:292/854
December 1st 2018 ... It was a cold and gloomy day in Belgium
although it was announced as sunny and nice, then the news hit
... my good friend Robert "Bob" Bashe of 2:2448/44 had passed
away.
We may have seen it coming from afar because his health was not
good, but then again "No, Bob can't die just like that".
I've known Bob for more than 20 years and we often touched base
above and beyond Fidonet-stuff.
Although living in Germany and holding a German passport, he
was a native from Texas. He came to Europe in the 1960-ies on
a scholarship, he was a young scientist with an education at a
renowned US institute, and settled in Germany. He had a wife
and a single son.
Him and I often debated real-life political matters, like for
example the WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) case which was the
justification for the US's invasion in Iraq. At such moments
although being a nationalized German citizen, he could suddenly
become American again ... for a short time at least. Then he
remembered his last visit there to his parents and the way how
he was treated by US border officials. Especially after he was
blocked in Florida due to the 9/11 events and airplane
groundings.
When his parents passed a while ago, the USA for him became
something of the past.
He entered my life in an unusual way on December 29th 1998.
Suddenly the phone rang and an unfamiliar voice said "This is
Bob Bashe. Is this Ward?"
The next day he was going to have a visitor, David Moufarrege,
the then current ZC1. David's ancestry was German and I think
he went to visit grandparents or so. Bob thought it would be a
great idea to bring the ZCs of both zone-1 and zone-2 together
for an evening. I instantly liked the idea and then it hit me
"Where the hell is Datteln?" ... Hmmm ... 220km
... no GPS in those days and I didn't have a map of Germany.
We had a very friendly meeting and I got to meet 3 really
interesting people... Gisbert Rudolph being the third (Gisbert
in the meantime also has passed away). Talking about Fido
chitchat, acknowledging there are more important things in life
than Fido, a few good beers and dinner at a Chinese place.
Everybody went home with a good feeling.
Life continued, Bob and I were on the phone often, I still
worked for the phone company and did not have to worry about
international dialing. I can remember he slammed the door 2-3
times and left "for good", but there was too much Fido in him
and the feeling of camaraderie.
So he calls me again "Guess what? David Moufarrege is coming on
another visit..." ... so I was Datteln-bound again. No Chinese
restaurant this time, but one with its origins in the Balkan.
According to Bob there were only 2 decent eateries in Datteln.
Several years later, we had again another meeting, and I began
to call them DattelnCon. The drive from my place really wasn't
that bad and eventually GPS entered the scene. I don't recall
what the occasion was but we got together with a group of German
sysops in the Chinese eatery ... I was delayed driving but
nobody left and I think that everybody was able to interact. I
think that my German friends realized there's way less politics
involved than I'm being accused of (even these days). It was a
pleasure meeting Alex Woick who was the RC24 then, Sven Dueker
and the others. The interaction with Uli Schroeter went well, a
guy you cannot help but like. And when the time came for
everybody to start the homeward bound journey, it was with a
bittersweet feeling ... having met some very interesting people
for the very first time away from the comfort zone of the
keyboard, maybe also for the last time ... It tasted for more.
And a next meeting happened in 2007. Present were Uli Schroeter,
Kees Van Eeten, Michiel van der Vlist, Alex Woick, Steven Leeman,
Vladimir Donskoi, myself and Bjorn Felten via video-link. And
of thisone video footage has survived, taken by Steven Leeman.
That meeting lasted until late in the night after which I agreed
to take Vladimir to Cologne on the way back, which was a serious
detour. When I arrived home and Steven still had to drive close
to 2 hours, sun was already up.
And then we converged for the very last meeting, I fail to
remember when it was, but this time it was at Michiel's place in
Driebergen (the Netherlands). I think 2nd half of 2010.
Happened to be the first time we got to meet Joe Delahaye back
in the lowlands to visit relatives.
Except Bob and Joe, we also had Wilfred Van Velzen there, and I
think Jan Vermeulen, former RC28, that would also be the last
meeting with Jan. We simply lost track of him.
When my father passed away last July, he had this to say about
son/father relationships ... it was going to be our final
contact August 5th ...
******************************
I was lucky. My dad took me along on some of his trips to oil
well drilling sites (which I regretted, since I managed to get
stickers in my feet), and we did some hunting on the farm. He
also bought my first guns (410 shotgun and .22 rifle).
I think the only thing he really regretted was that he didn't
have more time to spend with me, as he was frequently "in the
patch" (on an oil well drilling site) and so we didn't see each
other much. I was closer to my mother, who was nearly always at
home, and only regretted being closer to my dad later in life,
when I would understand him better. I might add that my mother
was the "boss" of the house, and my dad even had a good
relationship to my grandmother. That isn't often the case, but
they got on very well.
******************************
Over the years there have been discussions in Fidonet about the
fact it is a technical network. However there also was an
important shift towards the social aspect of things. For me,
once technology had been covered, the 'people behind the
keyboard' have always been so much more important and
interesting ...
And that's what Bob did ... he built bridges based on the social
aspects of Fidonet. He could be strongly opinionated and draw
blood from under your fingernails. At the same time he could
also be one of the gentlest people I have ever known.
A true friend, or as close as one could be in Fidonet.
Bob and cats were synonymous. He used to have a nice one called
'Fang' and when we met at Michiel's place in Driebergen; there
was Michiel's cat which just had a litter and Bob looked at them
as if it were a love-affair ... These are his own words about
his cats ...
**************************
WD> Is the cat still there?
Unfortunately, no. He died of feline leukemia not too long
afterward. Was only around 6 years old, poor guy, he was one of
the friendliest cats I've ever owned.
We now have two pure white (deaf) cats, brother and sister,
inherited from Michiel van der Vlist. I brought them here when
they were only 6 weeks old, and now they're close to 8 years old
(end of June). How time passes. They are nice "people" and
I've never regretted taking them both, although they had serious
problems as long as we let them outdoors - many injuries. I
once spent 6 weeks caring for Wendy, the female, who had broken
her hind leg somehow. It was touch and go for a while, but we
saved her leg, and now she's in good shape. Peter (the brother)
later slept under a car and got his tail run over when the car
backed out (he didn't hear it). So he has a short tail (the
rest had to be amputated). Since they've been purely house cats
- no going outdoors - there have been no further problems.
Cheers, Bob
**************************
Maybe Bob was not the grandest of sysops, but in his own way he
has made Fidonet more enjoyable for some for a short while. He
introduced me to a lot of people and I had fun, I learned.
He will not be forgotten by me nor by many others for whom he
meant a difference.
Don't forget to pay the ferryman, Bob !

Your friend

More Information about the FidoGazette:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.
If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please
contact me :)
Subscriptions: Mailing-List subscriptions via
http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
Or you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick
compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when
there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather
you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues
with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into
something of consequence here :) Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your
article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach:
Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
Modem: 607-200-4076
Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555
telnet mailer: filegate.net
If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as
routed attaches. They may fail somewhere along the path before
getting here. Send them instead in the body of your routed
netmail to janis@filegate.net
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one or your email address and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
