Dear All,  I learnt last night of Richard Z. Vance's illness.  He has
suffered a stroke, and is currently in hospital.   Richard has done so
much for our hobby-often through the pages of MMD, and I am sure that
I speak for us all when I wish him a speedy recovery.

Richard was my guest, and the guest of my friends in England last month
when he also attended the PPG annual general meeting in Leatherhead,
Surrey, and he made so many contributions to ongoing restoration projects
at that time, which was typical of him.   I wish him well.
