Raising a glass for Terrell Reber - ATA

[Daetrin[Admin]]

On this day, 2021, I received an email from Terrell Reber, who most people know as the person behind ATA.  In addition, he was an FISD DL, FISD XO (several times) and an all-around amazing human being.

 

Little did I know that it would be the last time I ever heard from him, as shortly after he contracted and passed away from COVID, as did his wife.  I have a ZIB (zero inbox) on my Gmail, or mostly, because I still can't bring myself to delete or even archive that last email from him.  

 

I still have the second ATA helmet he ever produced, and it's a cherished part of my collection.

Terrell, you are sadly and sorely missed.  Your expertise and dignity that you brought to our hobby was second to none.  My bucket is off as I raise a glass to you, my friend.

It's just not the same not seeing ATA build threads anymore. Raising a glass Terrell you are sorely missed

I am glad to have met Terrell on a sunny afternoon in Orlando.

It was a gathering of FISD staff and attaches for lunch during Celebration in 2017.

He will remain a very highly respected contributor to the detachment and our hobby, and forever remain in our thoughts and hearts.

Buckets off in remembrance.
