History of PuTTY’s development (chiark.greenend.org.uk) I received email from a software architect asking me if there was a writeup of the history and gradual development of the PuTTY tool suite. I wrote and sent a long response, and having done that, it seemed a shame to waste it. So here it is as a public article too.

Theodore Roethke

He suffered a heart attack in his friend S. Rasnics’ swimming pool in 1963 and died on Bainbridge Island, Washington, aged 55. The pool was later filled in and is now a zen rock garden, which can be viewed by the public at the Bloedel Reserve, a 150-acre (60 hectare) former private estate. There is no marker to indicate that the rock garden was the site of Roethke’s death.
