ok, so I've been wondering... and wondering... and wondering where the heck has Monroe gone. I figured maybe he, like so many others, have just left or lurked or whatever.

Well, I finally just had it dawn on me that I could google him. Seems he has passed... about a year and a half ago, actually. The only info I've found is the start of the story from his local newspaper. You have to have a subscription to read the rest of the story, so I don't know the exact details. I tried to sign up just to read that, but am having technical difficulties.

Anyway, I just thought it was a good idea to share with others who might care. I'll link to the one page that I found.

*EDIT*

ok, so I logged into the newspaper, thinking maybe he might have had a subscription at one time and took a guess at what his username/password might be. Anyway, first time was a charm. Guess I could read that paper if I wanted. Anyway, this is the whole story. Still not much:
