Ed Southwick was the founder of BEE-L. He worked at SUNY Brockport. He was the creator of BEE-L, which was always hosted at SUNY Albany, which had the big iron at the time to host the list ([log in to unmask]). Ed passed in the early 90s (it's in the archives). Larry Krengle asked within the past day or two, "Where was BEE-L in 1984?" I believe, but I did not check, that BEE-L was created in 1984. BEE-L was not archived until 1987, so I don't think the early days can be verified. Regardless, BEE-L is the longest, continuously running internet presence of a Beekeeping list in cyberspace. I think Ed had to request of Al Gore for BEE-L to be created at the University at Albany :-) Ed was a regular contributor to ABJ. I find it ironic that Ed passed to me suck a gem that BEE-L is, by virtue of my position at UAlbany, yet Ed and I never met. Aaron Morris - What a long strange trip it's been.
