Richard died very young (20th May 1998 - he was only 27), not long after we left University: he just collapsed while out running. I spent a lot of time with him at University, and even played in a band with him ("Quinn and Jane" aka "Giant Child"). This poem formed the lyrics for one of our tracks. I still think about and miss him a lot.</p> http://townx.org/a_disagreeable_painter_7_9_1991#comments texts Fri, 27 Oct 2006 18:53:09 -0500 elliot 433 at http://townx.org
