The Internet's original graphics trio of "*Booth, Beatty, and Barsky*" (who had been affectionately dubbed the graphics industries' "*Killer Bs*") lost one for their greats minds and personalities this last week. With great sadden in my heart, I regret to inform you that John Beatty has passed away. I was informed this AM by his partner is so many enterprises, Kelly Booth, that John died peacefully in his sleep in the early morning on Thursday, July 2, 2020. When we look at the wonders of the Internet's growth in the use of computer graphics, we view his legacy. But more than that, John was a good friend of many of us and, of course, we all miss him. Kelly tells me that the obituary with further information is being prepared by John’s sister, Jean Beatty, and well as others. We'll be sure to try to pass on a copy (or a link if it is on the web) when it has been released. Clem
