How saddened Margaret and I were on our return from Rotary D9370 Conference in Potchefstroom to hear the news of PDG Chris. I have known him for many years as an outstanding Rotarian. I have had two main interests in Rotary -Youth Exchange and the Group Study Exchanges where I first met Chris. However, it was during his Governors year that we had most contact. With his great PR interest his experiences of the incredible projects while visiting clubs prompted him to wish to publish a Coffee Table book detailing many of them. I was asked to gather the articles etc. vet them and pass to Rotarian Tony Howard to finally edit as he had a publishing background. Unfortunately the small market and cost of printing the book caused us to drop it in the end. Something that saddened Chris as he did want the world to know how great Rotary was in D9270. We will always remember him and the lovely PDG lunches at home with him and Jane. Our deepest sympathies to Jane and the family. Colin
