Never mind a web page, anyone know the name of the Hospital?
I'd rather post him a card!
I met him several times at astronomical events of one form or another (never xylophonic, honest!), though I doubt he'd remember me - I shared a jolly lunch with him years ago, where he graciously praised the copious amounts of 'Scottish wine' with which his glass was being regularly refilled. Single malt Scottish wine, it was...
...on second thoughts, I should send him a miniature of Scottish wine!
