Colin is gone...
Colin Douthwaite, well-known to readers of this newsgroup died suddendly at his home the other day. He had a lot of fun winding people up, and keeping the whole newsgroup community honest with CFV's and the like. I knew him as a flyer of Indian fighter kites, but his interests were many and varied. On the 'net of course no-one knows your age, but Colin was no chicken and he'd had heart problems for a long time, including a very severe heart attack last year. I'd like to think that he's in the sun somewhere, in his little woollen beanie hat, an impish grin on his face as he flys a genuine Nagasaki hata, cutting everyone else out of the sky! - Steve -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
