G'day again,

As you will note from the dates, I held off posting an obituary for Murray ... I guess, because there have been a few obits that have not contributed much to the Mudcat -in fact I consulted with Joe Offer before posting - and Joe felt I should.

Now I glad that I did ... I see now that so many others recognised Murray as great value for Mudcat ... and we all will miss him. I now bitterly regret that I passed through Blackheath too many times (80 miles out on some other journey ... that's my excuse - but no consolation) without calling in on Murray. I knew him mostly from telephone and e-mail conversations and the pleasant banter of Mudcat ... and always found something of interest or value in his contribution.

Murray: May you go down from Govett's Leap of Waters to the beautiful Blue Gum Forest and be at peace with your Mary.
