Ian! Dear friend and fellow traveller. Ian and I met in the early 1970s when he was at Leigh Marden at Regents Park. He was a constant friend over all those years as well as his then young family. I spoke to him on Dec 18. We had arranged to meet early in the new year at our favorite pub in Carlton to have our usual .
