The Daily Telegraph printed another
excellent obituary of Dad today. They quote from Dad's book quite a lot which gives it more of a personal flavour. In the print edition they used an excellent picture from Malaysia that I sent them, alas I don't have a scan of it. It shows Dad in morning dress off to present his credentials I believe. He's coming down the steps of our house and with him are some wonderfuly dressed Malays in silk sarongs and Baju Malayu (I _think_ that's what the gents outfit is called). He's looking ever-so-slightly to camera with the faintest smile. It's great.
However the Telegraph also committed the unforgivable error of getting my mother's name wrong! It's Crace, C-R-A-C-E, not Grace. Amateurs....
