I was deeply saddened to read Tricia's article this morning in Recharger in memory of Chip (Roy) Beziat that had passed away in July. I really only knew Chip in a 'cyber' relationship having shared many conversations in these forums over the years and e-mail, etc.. I always found Chip to be a man to tell it like it is. His candor was a challenge at times, but I think it helped me grow past the need to always have a 'yes man' telling me how right I was. For this reason I respected Chip very much. I think there is a lesson here that I will truly remember.

I knew he had done much for the industry and know he will be greatly missed. In many ways I think the world could use more men like Chip Beziat.
