I saw her post and went looking for information - no news confirming his death, but some remarkable discussions about his life. |

Much information and appreciation is to be found there. I have also indicated that those who would be interested in some personal recollections of my old friend might look at the website www.patrickcarroll.co.uk where, in the memoir category, especially in chapters 9 & 10, there are some accounts of the man, and in the more recent post, Dublin 50 Years On, which also features some episodes of Major's initial visit to Ireland in 1971. Definitely not forgotten. |

Major is definitely not forgotten. What a stunning talent. What a lovely man. R.I.P. |
