My friend, and good friend of IIS,
GraemeT, is gravely ill in hospital. Graeme won't be coming home, and won't be with us anymore before the weekend.
Graeme has had a rotten time health wise this year. Battling prostate cancer, things were taking a turn for the better until the eve of this year's IIS Astro Camp when he was nearly killed in a horrible car smash enroute to Jenolan Caves. He was annoyed to see a priest visit him at hospital and bounced back! He made a trip up to Katoomba Airfield a few months later and enjoyed one of the few good nights we had up there this year.
I will miss my friend terribly. He has been a source of quiet inspiration for me. He welcomed me into his home a couple of times, and I always came away encouraged and inspired.
We will meet again one day, my friend.
Alex.
