Dear Arjun, Thank you for notifying us of the passing of Billy Arjan Singh. You mention you are not up to the task of writing an obituary for such a great man. For those of us who do not know of Billy Arjan Singh, hearing of his accomplishments will be a great help, even if it is a brief listing. It seems like he was a hero, someone who fought to do good things. It is always a good thing to read about the lives of good people. I hope that when you feel able you will share some of your thougths with us. In the meantime, keep well.
