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

If you need a place to put the site, feel free to contact me. My boss,
also a ham, would be happy to do it, although I haven't asked him yet.
;) A high bandwidth home is availabe for free if you'd like.

And no, none of the rest of you are welcome.

I was amazed at Reg's simple and pragmatic approach to very technical
problems. His clear and concise prose made the most complex of problems
understandable.

When we meet again, I'll buy the next round.

CHEERS, Reg!

You'll have to be quick to get to the bar before Dad! He always wanted
to buy the first round and was never backward in coming forward with
the refills.

Ay up m'duck

I have been absent for some time from this group but now have received
the sad news
Reg was a rascal no doubt and engaged in many contraveries at the Rose
and Crown
or what ever was configured on the brass mitifs of the delivery horse
Knowing how Reg thought I suspect that he kept his black country accent
to the end where he would delight in those that thought with such an
accent could not possibly be one of an educated.person.
As an old timer from the East End of London and later from Nottingham I
know the difficulties of pursuing education when at the age of fourteen
one left the school yard for the mines or any way to make a living. Yet
Reg somehow overcame a lot of fences at that time and not only made it
but made it with distinction. This is a special day where englishmen
reflect upon a similar day in '39 when people were fully aware that in
the corner of all battlefields there lies a piece of England and
frankly Reg has done us all proud in what he has achieved in life and
no doubt is now debating those who were waiting for him. At this time
you will take more than one look at men who simply look like him in a
searching manner but the true realisation will come when you will stand
tall again and relish in the recall of old times. Dads do pass away as
mine did but his style of living affected how you lived and will live.
I will miss Reg even tho I was anoyed at him many times but always
drawn to what he had to say about the hobby.
I send my best wishes to all the family where all should be told that
tho he may well have left us what he had to say is indelibly written in
many parts of the World
Cheers and beers

Many thanks Art,
Dad has always meant a lot to me. I am now finding out just what he
meant to so many others.
I hurt now but I am thankful for the memories.
