Very sad indeed, but at least the Telegraph newspaper decently printed a very warming and deserved obituary.
I am bitterly disapointed that our everyday media pays such little attention to some of the real characters who help and have helped shape the ways in which we live today.
Wouldn't it be refreshing if for example programs like the British 'Parkinson Show', were to once again interview the ordinary but interesting, the worthy but modest, decent people of our world, regardless of their age or perceived media popularity?
Mr Parkinson today seems to concentrate his hundred percent efforts with his obsession in soley interviewing sad plastic addicted or sad faded plastic addicted, so called celebrities.
I think we should all write a letter to him today and recommend that he gives Mr Alex Henshaw a telphone call. I'd love to hear him and others speak in detail of their experiences.
I didn't know you at all, but I enjoyed so very much your stories and I raise a glass to you now Mr Roland Beamont Farewell.
