What?!

Lloyd died? That is very sad. I knew Lloyd, and I agree that he was a great person. We are losing so many of our great Federation people who make up our history. Very sad.

I learned that Lloyd had written many great Federation songs. He also worked for years as an engineer at the Library of Congress. He was a very kind man and will be missed.
