I can hear my old friend exclaiming, "Mike, what do you mean you haven't sent out the newsletter yet?!"

Thanks's to Webmaster Mike, the first Jack Gartside newsletter is out 8 months since Jack's passing.

According to Mike, since Jack passed away a lot of people have asked whether the web site will continue.  Absolutely yes. Jack loved his site. He considered it the portfolio of his life’s work and always said that he wanted it to continue after he was gone. And so it will.

You can subscribe to the newsletter by visiting Jack's site and hitting "Join the mailing list" on the left sidebar.  LINK

We were saddened to learn today that after a long tough fight, Jack Gartside lost his battle with lung cancer. He was in bed resting comfortably, attended by friends, with the first snow of the season falling silently outside.
