Many of you who have haunted Pentrace through the last couple of decades may know of or knew Will Thorpe. I first came to know Will when I first joined the now defunct Pentrace Snails List way back in 2005. Will was the very first person to write me a welcoming letter and gave me the names of several people I could exchange letters with. We corresponded with each other for 20 years and I had gotten very busy at work with added duties since we were shorthanded and neglected my usual letter writing for a couple of months. I was in the process of writing Will a letter when another one of his long time penpals, Craig Brandau, messaged me on Facebook to let me know Will had passed away in December while on a cruise with his wife Christina. Just thought people would want to know.
