That's a good sentence, Guido.

I'm just back from a performance of Richard Wagner's 'Das Rheingold' ...

Subject: [meteorite-list] Passing of Bob Walker
Dear List,
If this has been posted...I apologize for repeating sad news. I have not
seen it mentioned.
Bob Walker of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, veteran of the Royal
Australian Military Forces, a true mate and associate in the love of all
that has to do with meteorites, passed away in hospital October 2nd. last.
Bob had been in daily communication for months with several of us on List
and had busied himself, even after learning of his terminal diagnosis,
with his obsession with thin sections, sending DVDs and posters to
everyone who would have them and asking for new samples to incorporate in
his work. He had already arranged to donate most of his collection of
Australian meteorites to local institutions and museums. Just recently
having the pleasure of assisting at an installation of his favorite pieces
for public view in Queensland.
To the end he was upbeat though he knew he was dying and showed more
concern for the health of his friends who also have cancer, writing daily
and sharing encounters with the "white coats" and trusting that they would
"fixee fixee" everyone.
You know the answer now...Bob. I hope it's that you have crossed the event
horizon and are in the presence of all that is beautiful.
RIP
Guido
P.S. The military has already shut down his mailbox. Condolences and
inquiries can be sent to Bob's partner:
Meryll J. Fraser - 24 Tinworth Street - WILLOWBANK - Queensland -4308
AUSTRALIA
