Dear all,
A sad night for me too. I have just sent this to my colleagues at Reading
with Graham's message.
Just to add my 10p to Graham Upton's message. George was to me, a member of
a group probably 2 generations older than most of you, a remarkable man. The
only reason many of us are doing what we do today is because of the work of
George's generation and because of his and their interest in us. I spent a
year at the University of Waterloo in Canada in 1977-1978 during which time
George came and went as a visitor. It is my privilege that I knew him, and I
know that my challenge is to ensure that the next generation remember both
him and his successors - who were my initial teachers.
Derek
