Many thanks for all the kind words about Reg. I'm new to newsgroups but
have followed avidly dad's two favourite groups over the last 24 hours.
(It somehow makes me feel closer to him). I'm especially pleased to
read that you are trying to keep dad's website alive (cheers for that)
and also the postings from those who say they are still learning from
his programs. Dad was definitely all for education and it would have
warmed the cockles of his heart to have read such postings. (Somehow, I
think he is reading them and will be watching you from afar). My
brother Pete is the one to do all the technical 'stuff' in preserving
the website, My "technical"experience concerning antenna only extends
to remembering to remove the aerial before entering the car wash! TTFN

Jean and Pete,


I always enjoyed your dad's comments, although as some others, I
didn't always agree with him. I think some who disagreed overlooked
his subtle humor and took his remarks much too seriously. I sometimes
suggested, always in jest, that maybe he had sampled too much of that
evening's bottle.

Regardless of the technical disagreements it was impossible to not be
disarmed by that photo of his wonderful countenance on his web site.
It was nice to have known him even from afar and via this medium. We
will miss him.

So as I hoist a glass of good California red I too say, "Cheers Reg!"


Warmest regards,
