| A bit late to this thread, sympathies posted elsewhere. It's hard to add anything new to all these testimonies, can only replicate. So many memories - stand out is probably the first organised Forum meet up in Spezial (can't remember the year), followed by a memorable visit to the late lamented Canalissimo. Later, I had a lovely few days with him in Prague, where I really appreciated his great knowledge and more important great friendship. Like Jim, I attended quite a few of the Covid-Zoom sessions and met a lot of his family and friends. One final personal memory: when I was in the process of publishing my last book, I needed a website - Fred happily volunteered to design and publish one for me and wouldn't take a dime. A true friend and gentleman. RIP. |
