I didn't know Neil long enough. I had only just got to know him when he left us. He was a fascinating man with an adventurous life. I had spent some months trying to convince him to write his story, and he had only just begun when fate took him home. I have a mail box full of his reminiscences and life comments which I treasure. We shall not see his like again. God bless you, Neil. The world is diminished greatly by your loss.
