[Harp-L] Douglas Tate in memoriam

[Snaruhn@xxxxxxx]

My condolence to Doug´s family. 

Yes, it´s impressive to see the shock wave going over harp-L.

But Roger Trobridge simultanously wrote something comforting:

                   < Douglas passed away peacefully in his sleep >

I think we all wish to end our limited earth path that way.

Roger continued:

< He fought his final illness with a quiet dignity and bravery 
                < - and of course, humour >

Besides our test play of "summertime" at SPAH 97 just to hear who´s
customed chrom is louder I will not forget my chatting with Doug about 
humour on harp-L. Siegfried, he warned me, our both Anglo-Saxon humour 
needs an American wrapping, otherwise the "Yanks" could break out in
tears - but not for laughing.

So, everybody has his very personal memories of this real English
gentleman. Doug, the Lord had been merciful to you.    R.I.P.     
  
See you some time later!
