"Jack Rickard Jr., engineer and entrepreneur, died Monday morning at his
home in downtown Cape Girardeau following a brief illness. He was 65
years old."

"In 1986, he started Boardwatch Magazine, which he described as “a guide
to using computers as a communications device.” From an initial base of
a few dozen subscribers, the publication eventually had a circulation of
approximately 110,000."

I was a subscriber and still have some back issues.
