[sdiy] Sad News about Paul Schreiber.

[George Kisslak]

This is obviously very sad news and a great loss to the synth community.

Paul started a great ecosystem with MOTM and I was happy to be a small part 
of it, starting for me back in 2002.  The yahoo list he created was full of 
interesting characters, never boring, always something to learn.  Paul was a 
brilliant and efficient engineer but down to earth, and always had a story 
to tell when I spoke with him.  He gave many of us the opportunity with his 
kits to learn about synth circuits and how they work, and then make strange 
noises with them.  For me it has been just a hobby but it has given me great 
joy.  I never really got to thank him for that, unfortunately.  Losing Larry 
Hendry was tough years ago, this is another one.  I will miss him greatly.
