Dear all
I thanks Martin for informing us all of Colin Martin's impending
retirement. I personally owe a great debt of gratitude to Colin who had
the faith in me to let me join him on the Swan at Duart and get some really
interesting work done. He is a total professional who has freely given so
much of his knowledge to students in the past. I wish him well in his
"summer months".
