Dear colleagues, It is a sad day for all simuliidologists. I have to inform you that our well loved friend Roger Crosskey, passed away at about midday BST today 4 September. He had been in hospital for the last few months. Roger was an exceptional taxonomist and an inspiration to us all, and a good friend to many. His knowledge of the subject was unsurpassed. His wife, Peggy, will be under great strain over the next few weeks, so to relieve the pressure I propose to compile a book of condolences which she can read at a more suitable time. Please will anyone wishing to send a message send it to me at this email address <[log in to unmask]> DO NOT Press REPLY. Of course if you are a family friend, then by all means write to Peggy at home. Please pass on this news to anyone who might not be on the Simuliidae List. Sadly, John Davies
