Back in the day, I was immeasurably fortunate to cross and establish pre-Web paths with two experts in the art, science, knowledge and musicality of what the Internet could become – Peter Scott and Darlene Fichter. Fast forward a couple of decades to the new e-Web, I read on FB, with much sorrow, that Peter had passed away on December 20, 2013, in peace, at the all too young age of 66.
Best to let him speak for himself really – his bio – via his blog –
