Re: It is this true date of his dead?
Hi "me you",Well ... there's still a bit of debate over the exact day, but I'm more than happy to commemorate it today. Strictly speaking he was probably still only 32, but only a month shy of being 33; and some people still think it *wasn't* malaria ... but other than that ... :-)ATBMarcus
