Brooks Alexander, for the last ten years SCP's Research Director, is looking
at an upcoming change in venue. Brooks, who founded SCP back in the early 70's,
will be moving to Texas where he can be closer to his daughter Leslie and new
grandson (Brooks' other daughter, Anastasia, lives in Seattle.). Brooks will
continue to write and do research for SCP in his new location. We will miss the
day-to-day contact with him, but in this age of instant electronic communication
we anticipate that in many ways it will seem as if he had never gone. He will be
returning here now and then for brainstorming. Tal will miss this long time
close personal friend "whose brilliance and depth of insight is so rare
these days." Tal and Brooks will continue to discuss cutting edge issues in
cyberspace. Meanwhile, Brooks has long anticipated moving out of an apartment
that lies directly above the Hayward fault (the massive faultline that runs
through Oakland and Berkeley). Keep him in prayer as he looks to find a house
perhaps near Austin where his second alma mater, The University of Texas,
stretches with its rich facilities.
