Not a week goes by without the sad loss of the stars of yesteryear, the latest being Jet Harris. Would it not be appropriate to have a section dedicated to such matters. Regretably the number of passings will only increase as our heros and heroines of the fifties and sixties get older. |

Graham, yes it is sad that we hear regular passings of our music stars of the past. Morbid as it may seem I think it is a good idea.
Some of you may remember Iain Smith.... maybe he could come back and be the moderator of the In Memoriam threads
I'll put a new section up tonight or tomorrow and gather together the appropriate threads from the past. _________________ -

Thanks John. It will also have the added advantage of reducing the number of duplicated threads and the wars of words that tend to follow. |

So the forum is set up, quite a few threads in it. Haven't put a photo-link on the home page, not sure who's appropriate, most recent deceased R2 broadcaster maybe. _________________ -

I think it's a great idea too, I hate it when I find out that someone has died 6 months after it has happened.
Hopefully this won't fill with threads too quickly!!! |

At risk of being called (again) a pedant, it should be "In Memoriam" - it's Latin.
"In Memorium" was the title of a horror film. _________________ Ron |

Sorry Ron. I agree with you. It's over 40 years since a did any Latin so the memory fades.
John. Can you alter the main title. Mea culpa. |

Me as well, graham.
I've noticed it in a few newspapers recently and wondered where they got it from - The curse of Hollywood culture _________________ Ron |
