Many MCG list members will know Mick Cooper, who made intelligent, practical and witty contributions to this list over the years. With her permission, I am circulating this sad email from Mick's colleague, Ann Inscker.

Dear All,
We learned this week that our Registrar Michael Cooper sadly died from his long term heart condition, probably on Sunday evening or early Monday morning. It is, unsurprisingly, a great great shock to those of us who worked closely with him and knew him socially as a friend. He will leave a huge gap at Nottingham City Museums & Galleries, having revolutionised documentation, databases, research and the long-term storage of the archives in his care, while leaving a long lasting legacy and having set high standards for us all maintain. The details of Michael's funeral are listed below.
Many thanks,
Ann.
