but on his info it says he was born in 79, that would make him around 24
and it says he lives in Minnesota, or is Rockford in Minn?

Maybe Kevin Gilbertson died. But not -the- Kevin Gilbertson. This is
from his site gilby.com:

I have been unicycling for 16 years, since I was 8 years old.

Fear not. There's a Rockford IL and MN. Rockford, IL is way closer to
Janesville, WI.

If so that would make our Gilby 24, which would support the fact he was
born in 1979 (lets guess his site hasn't been updated for a year).
Obviously Kevin Gilbertson died, but not the Kevin Gilbertson who runs
this site.

You can run clients like centericq on servers like the one of
unicyclist.com
Or did you mean you saw his username online on unicyclist.com?

However sad it is that Kevin Gilbertson died, we can be relieved it's
not 'our' Gilby.

It made me think however, strange as this may sound from a dedicated
Usenet fan, but should Gilby make a provision for the case that
something -would- happen to him? Would this site go amiss without him?
Oh well, maybe he does have a plan, unbeknownst to us.

Of all the people who could have replied to this thread, Gilby himself
would have been the one we'd like to hear from most.

Before making flippant comments about the "other" Gilby, perhaps we
should wonder whether it's a cousin or other relation of "ours". A bit
of sensitivity, folks, just in case.

While I suppose I can understand forum users expressing relief that it
is not "our Gilby", you can be sure that the 18 yr old Gilby who died
was indeed "our Gilby" to his family and loved ones.

A few years ago I lost a 17 year old nephew, the loss is nothing to
take lightly and once you go through it, you're never the same.

To set the record straight, no, it wasn't our Gilby involved in the
Janesville, WI accident. Yes, our Gilby does lives in Minneapolis and
is several years older.

It was very interesting today, though, that I was talking with a
customer from 84 Lumber in Gurnee, IL about an order and it turns out
that one of his salesmen, Kevin Gilbertson, had placed the order
initially. I commented about the news of a lad with the same name that
had lost his life in Janesville and my caller had heard about the
accident. What are the odds that, within a day and a half, I would run
across two people with the same name as another friend.
