Dear all,
I just wanted to say on behalf of myself and the Board of MDA, who met
today, how very sad we are to hear of the news of Ian's death.
Professionally, I would like to acknowledge the important contribution which
Ian made to both documentation and to the work of MDA. He was a key figure
in the development of SPECTRUM and I know that his influence was felt far
beyond Scotland.
Personally, I will always have fond memories of him as a good-humoured
pragmatist in a number of projects with which we were both involved.
I join with others on the list in offering his family, friends and
colleagues our heartfelt condolences.
Sincerely,
Nick Poole
Director
