Genuinely nice bloke....Bumped into him on numerous occasions in Newark, and he'd usually ask.."Got time to go for a coffee, Phil ?"......I usually had, cos those were the days of megetting photo's processed at a 'one hour' developer shop in town.

VERY sad news.  :(

Quite amazing about Reg Twigg bearing in mind so many young men didn't survive to enjoy and reach such a ripe old age.

Sad news also about Duncan MacFarlane at age 73. What would we have done pre-internet and blog days without the likes of him.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
