Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot in the days of auld lang syne? To answer the question in the song - no, old acquaintance should never be forgotten, especially when they were a force named Carlos Hazday. It's hard to believe our friend has been gone for over a year now. Based on the stories submitted for this tribute, it's clear that his influence lives on.

A big thank you to the anonymous members of our community that BOMBARDED me with questions. Holy smokes... My inbox went from 29% full to 36%. Y'all are insane, and I love it.
