I'm saddened to inform everyone that Neil Besougloff, former editor of CTT, died yesterday from complications of COVID-19. All of us at Kalmbach are shocked and saddened by the news. We're working on a more formal obituary but wanted to share this news now.

Sad, sad news. My condolances to Neils immediate family and to his Kalmbach family. He was a real hero to the hobby.
COVID-19 certainly has a "face" for a lot of us now.
Rest in peace, Neil......

Good evening all,
So sad to hear about Neil. We worked together many times when I wrote articles for CTT "back in the day". I always found his comments to be thoughtful and helpful. He was a good person to be around. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Keep on training,

Sorry to hear. Sad news. I know he will be missed by his family and work family. Sad it had to be due to the pandamic.

Another loss of a very good man. This virus has now hit close to him twice in the last couple of months. My prayers go out for Neil, his family, and former associates.

I didn't know him personally, but I appreciated what he did for CTT while he worked on it.
I learned that there is an "official" obituary online.
