[sdiy] A little more about Bob Moog

[Tim Parkhurst]

Just a quick note. This was from an email message from the Caring Bridge
foundation, where Dr. Moog's family set up a web site.
 **************************************
The day after Bob Moog's private funeral last August 21, an estimated 600
people from around the world attended a public memorial service. "I spoke to
hundreds of people that day and they all said the CaringBridge site was so
important for them, serving as a lifeline for news about my father," Matthew
(Moog) relates, still amazed at the capacity of CaringBridge to connect so
many people.

Since July 2005, more than 122,000 visits have been made to Bob Moog's
CaringBridge site, by people in the United States, Indonesia, Japan,
Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Austria, Norway, Germany,
France, and other countries.

And the guestbook messages continue to be posted. Dave in Duluth, Minnesota
wrote,

"The world thanks you for your inventions and admires your grace and
compassion. The name Moog will live forever. In Heaven, your modular
synthesizer will be 10 miles long and 10 miles wide. I hear the angels are
giving up their harps..."

***************************************
 It's nice to see that so many people around the world were influenced by
Dr. Moog's work, and that they took a minute to visit the site and leave
some kind words.
