Yes Keith is still around.  He went to the University of Southern  
MIssissippi in Hattiesburg, the same university that I was attending  
when Microware hired me in 1992.  You can find a picture of Keith on  
this website: http://www.eigs.olemiss.edu/newsroom/annual_brief05/ 
photos.htm

I haven't been in touch with him in a while, but he's at Diamond Data  
Systems.  You can easily find his email address by googling his name.

"If there is truth to the proposition that knowing the past helps us  
to understand the present, I believe there is at least as much truth  
to the proposition that what we know of the present is crucial to our  
understanding of the past.  What we have not ourselves experienced or  
observed we can at most only partially and imperfectly comprehend;  
and I suspect that there is much in history that is so remote from  
our own experiences or observations as to be largely beyond our  
understanding." - Kenneth M. Stamp
