[Leica] Herb Kanner

[Douglas Barry]

Herb is a great loss to the LUG. Personally, as a 67 year old youngster, 
I relished seeing some of the early stuff he posted.  In those oral 
histories, he comes across as a humorous talented individual who was 
there at a significant time, and playing a significant role in the 
development of computers. To most of us as mid term techies, he appears 
to adept at Linear B, but to late termers and the yet to be born, he 
will seem fluent in Linear A...

May he rest in peace.
