Passed on from Harry Ward, PE:
"For those that have not yet heard, Derrick Darby, one of our industry's leading contributors and brilliant minds, passed away unexpectedly on May 26, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia. Derrick was an accomplished civil engineer and successful entrepreneur. He founded Plus 3 Software, Inc. in 1983, which was later acquired by Spectra Precision and now owned by Trimble. During the last five years he was a driving force behind the Trimble Connected Community, and recently played a pivotal role in the acquisition of SketchUp from Google."
We were an early user of Plus 3 software and still use Terramodel almost daily.
Sorry to hear that.

Me too.
I remember the hollow feeling I had in my stomach when I opend the letter saying Derrick had sold Plus3 to Spectra. It got worse with Trimble, but I still use Terramodel; he and his team created some good software.
