Wrapping Up 2015 - Those Who Merged With The Infinite




Here at The Signal Watch, we try to mark the passing of folks relevant to the content of the site.  We certainly don't catch every single passing, and it's a bit of arbitrary business deciding who we'll mention and who we won't.

  • Bevo XIV - Mascot at the University of Texas
