I actually have Earl's book both on CD (535Mb) and hard copy.
He also sent to me for review after he helped me explain to my company the advantages of Concurrent Engineering (he proofed my presentations with extremely valuable feedback).
I felt obligated to buy the final version and am very glad I did.
And though he will be missed I feel extremely lucky to have him touch my life and career as with his help I became better as a Designer and have now moved upwards and am sharing those skills with others (a Moonman requisite "share the knowledge").
I would like to agree with Joyce and nominate Earl "Moonman" Moon for status in the Technet "Hall of Fame".
His input, assistance and knowledge was a great help to many of us and though he signed off due to "political correctness" (something Earl never worried about) he was still an important part of this venerable forum for it's first 5 years.
Just my opinion,
FNK

He was indeed very generous. I askekd him how to buy his book,  while he was  still working on it.  He sent a copy to me and asked me to check it and tell him what I liked it. Unfortunately, I think he never gpt the opportunity to fulfill it. I never met him, but it wasn't necessary because his kind way of writing revealed a man with a heart. Does anyone have his book?

I know some of you that have been on the TechNet for a while, know of Earl Moon.

I knew him to be outspoken, and a rebel, but he knew his stuff. Tonight I thought I would try and track him down to see how he was doing since we had stayed in touch with each other for some years, but we had lost touch, and I hadn't spoken with him for about 4-5 years.

I learned tonight that Earl passed away about 2-years ago. He left Michigan and went west to somewhere in Idaho to be in the mountains when his health started failing. I was told that he knew that he didn't have much time left, and wanted to be in the mountains that he loved when his time came. And as I was told; Earl did what he wanted to do.

Rest in peace Earl.
