| Colleen Franklin - Red Pearl Passed away - 2003 I only knew Colleen through the BOA board. I met her when I first joined the board in mid 2002. She had been a long time poster on various BOA boards. I only had the chance to correspond with her a few months before she was no longer posting. She was known as "Red Pearl" among the BOA fans. |
| Dr. John Hudy - DJ Passed away - March 2004 I knew DJ from the time I got on the BOA board in 2002. We had some lively conversations via the board and email. When we talked about playing music, DJ got me interested in trying to play the bass guitar again, since he was a bass player. I had tried to learn years ago but gave it up. He told me where to find the good deals on bass guitars and I ended up buying one. |
