I recognize George Stanislav's name but I don't think I recall the others. I was also a teenager at the time (mid 90s) so there's a lot I missed out on / didn't pick up on.
The only Fido event I went to was Region 17 Con in the summer of 1995, in Edmonton Alberta. I don't remember names, but I do recall meeting several sysops that went out of their way to be friendly and include 14-year-old me, it was a really positive experience. I also met Scott Dudley (author of Maximus BBS software) there, he also was very kind and generous. It was right before the Maximus 3.0 release and I was very excited! :)
F> Thanks for the link to Rik's photo gallery. Interesting
F> stuff and a lot of history there. Also some PG-13
F> content hahaha.
It really is quite the gallery isn't it! It looks like Wynn and Rik had a lot of fun times over the years.
