[ih] Dan Lynch has passed away

[Barbara Denny]

 I never went to InterOp but I kinda remember Jim Mathis telling me about it starting. Wasn't it originally called TCP Bake Off?
Very sad to hear about his passing.  Condolences to all his family and friends.

That kind of interaction is what I remember best about Dan.  Somehow,
whenever we were in the same town, he and I usually managed to find a few
minutes (or in rare cases, a meal) for a quiet discussion.  Usually Dan
helping (mentoring) me -- I'd see a technical challenge or issue and be
trying to figure out how to get it fixed.  Dan would invariably have wisdom
to impart and encouragement too.

I like to think I sometimes returned the favor.  At the 2nd Monterrey
conference, Dan was trying to figure out a better name for his
workshop/conference and was running some names past me.  I liked one of
them and so, as we parted, I said "See you at InterOp!"
