Junction Mail No. 64
Summer 2009 You may notice a change in the format of this edition. I am sorry to announce to members that John Cottrell, our previous Editor died on 15th July 2009, this was after falling ill at the beginning of the year. He was suffering from cancer and despite concentrated treatment it was to no avail. He did a marvellous job in completing the last edition without mentioning his suffering, and it was not until recently he admitted to me the decline in his health. I attended his funeral together with Ken Aylmer on Tuesday 29th July at Hendon Park Crematorium, together with 60-70 of his friends and relations. He will be sadly missed. It is intended to make a collection at our September meeting at Welwyn, with the proceeds being donated to the North London Hospice, at the request of his wife, Maggie. You are welcome to send any donations to Michael Wright, who will pass the proceeds to NLH. After the close of the collection on 16th September 2009. John initially thought that JUNCtion Mail did not have quite the right title, so without a fuss, it was changed to what we see today. So what is in a title? A lasting memory of John I hope.
