Dear Claire, thank you so much for all that. We haven't met since we were children, but I know that Dad was evry fond of all of your family and talked of you often. It's nice to know how much he will be missed.

There is going to be a small gathering of old friends and immediate family in London next Sunday (4th). We can't, unfortunately, accomodate a huge crowd, but if there are any old friends out there who would especially like to come please contact me at: aod(remove this) at dsl(remove this).pipex.com

Hope you can decipher that, folks. I'm posting my address like that to avoid picking up masses of spam...
