Re: [TCML] DC Cox

[Bert Hickman <bert.hickman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was saddened to hear of DC's passing.

In his earlier years, DC was a significant contributor to the growth of 
Tesla Coiling knowledge as can be seen by his many publications and 
articles in the TCBA Newsletter. He knew countless "tricks of the trade" 
for making reliable high voltage systems that are still in use in 
museums and science centers across the world. In his later years, he 
began to see amateur coilers less as potential competitors, becoming 
friends with many in the widening coiling community brought about by 
bulletin boards and the Internet. An older, mellower DC aided many a 
budding coiler, while sharing technical and hard-won practical design 
information with experienced coilers on and off the TCML. DC had hoped 
to condense the practical knowledge he had accumulated through the years 
into a Tesla Coiling book. Unfortunately, his worsening medical 
condition severely limited his physical and technical activities, while 
also reducing the level of business that he could support. DC never 
complained about the hand he was dealt. And, he never gave up his 
passion for coiling and high voltage even towards the end.

He will be missed.
