Dear List, This is such sad news of John, and I am sure we all wish him better health. Does anyone of you see him personally or have telephone contact? If so, you might like to ask him if there is any way we as a group can help him. He has such a precious resource, that I am wondering if we should start a fund to help him convert it to a retrievable form, that we can all access. I live largely in NZ, but I shall be in the north of England in late June and could call in on John to better understand his situation and draw alongside him. I would need a phone number, which obviously could only be given with his consent.
