The first story in this section - indeed the inspiration for the whole section - concerns a very good friend of mine, an exceptional person called John Wilkinson.Sadly, he died recently, as he had known he would. He met this unjust fate with courage and humour, remaining a true gentleman to the last.
I'm very proud to have known him, even if it wasn't for long enough.I know that he's no longer with us, but when I read this tale I don't have to believe it - he's always there and I'm sure he always will be.
