  • Frank Vest

    From nelgin@VERT/EOTLBBS to All on Mon Sep 2 07:04:36 2024
    Does anyone know of or remember a sysop in McKinney, TX named Frank Vest? He ran Collin County Station BBS and while looking him up, I saw he was using Synchronet. I met him once and he was old then so maybe he's passed on.

    I remember Frank. He was the Fidonews editor for quite awhile, and he was interviewed for "BBS: The Documentary"

    He kind of fell off the BBS plane of existence shortly after the documentary came out, but I didn't think he was that old at the time.
