| I too never met Travis in person. I only knew him from his posts here and talking to him in the chat rooms. He was a great guy and his Moc's were inspirational. I am really going to miss the 80's T.V. hover cars he did. Those were awesome. I think (...) (22 years ago, 25-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, FTX)
