Please accept my condolences. I lost my father in 2006. Reading your loving tribute to your father, I am struck by the similarities to my own dad. Mine did his service in the USAF, rather than the RAF, and did meteorology as his technical specialty. He served 50 years with the same firm. We are profoundly unfortunate to lose those important in our lives, but also profoundly fortunate in that we had their acquaintance for the time we did. --]'']'' 06:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Please except my condolences. Your father sounds a bit like mine, and born within a year of each other; hard working on very real, concrete projects (mine in the steel industry), and with a life both full and interesting. Sounds like he spent most of his life with people who loved him, and left the same way. My best to you and your family. ] (]) 21:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Smelling pistakes
In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.

JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.
