Who is Andrew Fluegelman? 8

Tsu want an answer to the following question: "So who the heck was (is?) Andrew Fluegelman? According to his Jargon File entry, he was one of the founders of the Shareware concept, the writer of PC-Talk, and owner of the trademark on 'Freeware'. But, apparently, he has since dissapeared and is presumed dead. This is an interesting bit of trivia from the Dark Ages of personal computing, and I think it's high time we find out what happened. Conspiracy, anyone?" Hmmm... now I'm intrigued!
