i've always been curious about some of these oddballs - are they just names with no background, or were they actual characters? some had wizard spells named after them, and some had magic items named after them. i'm sure that David Cook, Nigel Findley (if he were still around), Anthony Herring, Christopher Kubasik, Carl Sargent, or Rick Swan could answer that for me if they still remember, but maybe someone around here knows.
