[MRCG] Al Tipsword Goodbuy

[Ray Poularas]

Gentlemen,
A very Sad announcement, although the fact that he is remembered so vividly
and affectionately by so many of the group shows the sort of person he was.

The MRCG gang all seem to have a special bond and I think some way to
remember the members who pass is a great idea.
The knowledge, comradely and friendship I see at the events and in the
mailing lists is obvious and uncommon in my opinion these days.

Time is the predator that stalks us all, and what we do with our friends and
colleges while here on earth is what sets us apart.

All the Best from Australia Guys,
Regards
Ray Poularas

Hi Mark,

I think a plaque is a nice idea. I support it.

was official once hanging on the wall...All of our SK members have been an
inspiration and a help to me personally.

anybody should consult on anything with social implications, but I do like
your idea. My greatest reservation is how awful I'd feel about anybody we
missed adding to the plaque. There are even long-time hardcore members who
I've never really gotten to know for whatever reason, but I'm sure thankful
for everybody's contributions to and participation in our wonderfully
eccentric group.
