Default Sorry to say, RIP Matt...One of our greatest members was lost on Friday..
The details are still sketchy, but Matt Ammon, aka O.W.Kenobi, who most often frequented the Pacific NW, Motorsport and B5 forums, was killed in a construction accident on Friday.

Apparently a consruction crane fell and he was the only casualty...

A memorial fund has been setup... Details to follow.
