1. I think they are a lot of work.

Someone has to read through all the submissions, & sometimes there are a lot, & then put it all together. They were great but I don't think there's an easy way to do it.

I believe that he died. I wish I could remember his name.



And of course, someone could resurrect them.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't know how the DUzys were administered.

Have fun this weekend!

DFW posted this in JeffR's honor, on the day he found out that Jeff had died. It's a great read.

I remembered how much fun and insightful the DUzys were. From time to time, a DU poster will use the phrase and I miss the consistency of JeffR's efforts.

I hope his transition was peaceful.

Enjoy your weekend!

He did some truly magnificent architectural photography.

He died from cancer in 2015.

I still miss him. He was a wonderful person.

I didn't know he was married to NanceGregg who was one of my favorite posters. She hd great insights and excellent writing skills. Is she still around?
