Thanks for drawing my attention to this fine obituary, better than many that
appeared in the British quality press. By the way, Liverpudlians are known
as "scousers" because of their taste for "lobscouse" - a regional variation
on Irish Stew, Liverpool having a considerable Irish population.

Dear Brian:

You are welcome . I thought the Britons would want to see it. Nice to know
that a US newspaper recognizes the interesting life and contributions of an
OKOMer from the mother country. I wondered about "scouse", it is a wonderful
word.

>From the obit, he sounds like the kind of man I would have dearly loved
knowing.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
