THE DEATH OF AN OLD FRIEND

by Hazed

We were very sad to learn earlier this week that one of Fed's oldest players, Linebacker (real life name Robert Welham), had passed away.

Linebacker played the game on Compunet back in the 1980s, when I was just a player myself. The two of us were friendly rivals, with me desperately chasing him to become the "top" player. His name cropped up frequently in Line Noise, the Fed news of the time - you can read those ancient bulletins in the archives.

He attended almost all of the Fed meets and his presence always added to the fun of the occasions.

He recently returned to Fed2 after a long absence and was steadily climbing the ranks. He'd made it up to Trader and was having fun getting to grips with futures. We were all delighted to welcome him back.

His death came as a shock, and he will be sorely missed.
