Greetings, 
      Andrew Dow, a faithful and enthusiastic R&LHS member, and a frequent contributor to this list, died on 24 April, at age 71 from cancer. He was a member since at least 1999. And his father was listed as a member in my 1985 roster, so I'm certain Andrew was reading our journals even back then in Yorkshire, England. 
     You can read his long obituary here:

      Two personal stories about Andrew. He was very fussy about his library. He long ago insisted that the R&LHS back issues he purchased, and he wanted them all, had to be perfect with no writing on them. I told him quite frankly that he would have many holes in his R&LHS collection if he insisted on that. So he backed down and trusted my judgement. And did quite well ending his life with all but seven editions: Andrew Dow wants: Nos.17, 18, 19, 20, 39A, 47A & 54 as of 8/22/14. 
      The other thing was his method of payment. I gave him the usual options, and he wanted to send U.S. currency at his own risk. Which was fine until it arrived here, repeatedly, with a barely legible address, and in the usual British manner, with no return address. I'd open a tiny envelope that contained $300. But his faith was rewarded as we never had a problem. 
     Wish I had met him...... :) 
           Alden
