Thank you kindly, Ben.

I noticed on Ian's website a link to "The Pen Man" . A fellow named Andy makes the wood pens. I'm guessing this is Ian's friend then? ... anyway I was thinking a pen made by the hands that shook the hand of Ian would make a nice memento. A finely crafted writing instrument too.

Well, :$ something I thought worth mentioning.

Although expected, very, very sad to read of Ians' passing, my condolences to his family. :'(

It does not seem that long ago he told me of his lung problems (in a PM) before announcing here that it was cancer. Just makes you realise on how fragile and short life can be for all of us. :((

He may be gone but will never be forgotten, God Bless you Ian.

Ben, as others have said, many thanks.

Nigel.

Rest in peace, Ian. :'( Deepest sympathies to Ian's family and friends...and also to everyone here at CBFS. We lost a very good man and friend. :( Oh, and thanks very much Ben for your thoughtful gesture. :thumbsup:
