I hate to say this but Ians beloved sister in Leeds died last year. I'm
sorry to hear it. Ian supported the efford back in 1993 when I was raising
money for my friend Diane who has Multiple Schlerosis; he and his family
joined me on a "walkathon" and the company matched the funds. After
Marsh/McClennan took over all that stopped.
