Colin is gone...

From sj...@commarc.co.nz · alt.ascii-art · 2 Mar 1999 00:00 · View full thread · report
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
