Oli was a critical contributor to that effort. We raced and chatted together often. He was one of the good guys, and I hope the wind is fresh and the seas smooth where he is now.

I am doing my best to honor his memory within SL, but as I'm sure people will understand, it is very difficult for me to be there without him. Moving to a new area brings challenges as well - i.e. getting a job. I won't be able to keep all of Oli's land holdings (he had nearly a full sim of land throughout SL) and as the sole survivor in our land group, in a way, Oli left me a "virtual land" inheritance. Unfortunately, jobless, I can' afford the $195 a month upkeep for all of the properties, so I have been forced to pick a spot. The land that he and I shared the most memories will be the one I am maintaining and I will be keeping it intact the way Oli left it. If you are ever in the neighborhood of Bonga sim, please feel free to drop in and pay homage to a great man's memory.
