I think it might actually have been Dean Sanderson.  Dean was the
principal architect of microFORTH (the immediate ancestor of
fig-FORTH), and some of the constructs that people assume were Chuck
Mooore's were actually Dean's.  I wasn't there at the time, but
Elizabeth was, and can perhaps remember more.
