				I realize that us beekeepers as a group are aging a lot, but this has been a really hard year for beekeeping with all the great people who have passed on.
I talked with Mr Simon several times about foundationless frames and beekeeping.  Philosophically, he was a breath of fresh air in the beekeeping world.  He will be missed.
