With that said, let's start off 2012 with a very welcome bang!

My Brothers, with a heavy heart, I have to pass along more sad news this evening.  I received an email reply from Des' son this evening that he has lost his long battle with illness.  

Here is the email that his son, Basil, asked me to pass along:

Hello Mike,
I am Bruce (Des) Wallace's Son,
I am just tiding-up his affairs and correspondence.
I have the sad news that my Father passed away on the twenty eighth of November 2011, after a long Illness.
I am sorry to have to give you this news, and could you please also pass this news onto his other gaming friends
Basil Wallace. 

The only words that come to mind are that I've lost a friend.  It matters not that we never met in person.  Des will be missed.



I am very sad... goodbye Des... you will be missed...


Leo "Apollo11"

I have to agree regarding Des and his high spirits. My last message from him was dated 14 November. He was relocating to his sister's home which was a one-floor plan. Said he just needed a few weeks to get settled and then he would be back to gaming.

Cheerful and considerate to the end. He was a true gentleman

I can't believe that troll, however, I am not suprised...

Don't extend it!!!.. but I understand why..

Unless we're talking about driving trains, in which case it's probably a bit less academically impressive, but no less cool.

To Crews who sail Men of War
and those that build them on the shore,
Men in Freighters, men in Tankers,
Men inships financed by Bankers,
Ships Designed for extra speed,
Slow ships, fast ships,
ships which need radar screens for times of fog,
Ships with records on the log,
Ships which sail on Christmas day
torn by wind and washed with Spray,
Ships in Harbour, ships at Sea,
Ships which carry oil and tea,
Ships importing meat and grain,
Ships which bring us home again,
Ships with masts Aloof and tall,
Mastless ships and ships quite small,
Motor ships and Ancient steamers,
Ships conceived by daring dreamers,
Ships of orthodox design,
Ships which often cross the line,
Ships which ply on coastal waters,
Ships with ice upon there quarters,
Submarines down in the deep,
to gaurd our shores a watch to keep,

To all who sail, and those who build,
ships of any kind,
we've filled our glasses,
now here come the toast.

WE wish each one of you a most
Happy Christmas and New Year.
Much to please and none to fear,
good health, much wealth,
good times, good sport.

God speed, good luck.
Come home safe to port.

After reading that article, I'm relieved. I expected a different hybrid.
