Re: Colin Douthwaite logs off

Thanks Ian!

Your father's death is a tremendous loss.  Not only because 
he was a substantial part of the rec.kites group, but also 
because he was my mentor when I was a newbie, struggling to
learn kiting and internetting.

And it was a pleasant surprise to find out he was also active 
in the sci.med groups as a survivor from not a few heart-
attacks, and once he sent me an e-mail inquiring on a new 
anti-heart-failure drug produced in Japan.  Unfortunately,
this one turned out to be a total failure in the trial in 
the USA.  

As one of the medical professionals, I truly regret this 
advanced medicine was unable to make him live longer until 
we ever met in person, though I am only relieved to hear his
passing was peaceful.

Farewell to Colin F. B. Douthwaite, we shall miss you, now a 
guardian angel, watching from the heavens.

My prayers go to you and your mother in your bereavement.

Even time flies.  Why not go exploring the wonder world of 
kiting?  May the wind gods bless you with a fair breeze.
