fred was certainly a character.
perhaps ken or rob might confirm this, but i recall at least one of the canoe trips
demonstrated
the effects of dropping flour sacks onto canoes from a small airplane. (i was not present
on any
of these trips, but heard this from grampp.)
he was also responsible for occasionally buying bulk bags of barely digestible cheese

(we called them cheese awfuls) and leaving them in the Unix Room to be eaten.

Fred Grampp has gotten far less coverage than he deserves.
I hope to rectify that with this post, most of which was
written soon after his death.
