My dad (you may know him as Jeff S.) informed me via email this morning of the loss of this great man. My heartfelt prayers are with all of you, his friends and family.

It was just a few nights ago that I revisited my collection of emails sent to me when I was suffering from the loss of my friend and mentor James Holloway. It was Mickey's words that brought a tear to my eye. I thought I might share his kind words with you, that they might be a comfort to you.

"Colin...I am sorry to hear of the death of your professor. Some will tell you time will heal the wound. Let us hope not...for your memories of him, are what, in great part insure he lives although it appears he does not. What I can tell you Colin...is...In time you will be able to remember him with less pain...but never less loss. God has his own plan and that is all that matters." - Mickey Newbury May 2001

Hey Mick, Would you drop Jimmie a line and tell him I'm thinking about him? Many Thanks, Colin
