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

Hello Jean (which happens to also be my wife's name),

I'm glad that you're pleased with our keeping your Dad's website alive--it would
be a sacrilege if we didn't.

I should tell you that when traveling to England three years ago, also while on
the North Sea traveling back to England, I sent several emails to your Dad,
which he failed to answer. After returning to the US I pointedly asked him if he
received my emails why didn't he respond. I was disappointed to learn that he
didn't feel comfortable at receiving guests (I wanted to visit him), because he
was sensitive about his appearance. I understood that, and forgave him for not
answering. However, I would have very much liked to have met him, but I still
have his portrait downloaded from his web site, from which I'll see him from
time to time, never forgetting him.

Again, I'd like for both you and your brother Peter to accept my sincere
condolences on the loss of your wonderful father, Reg.
