My deepest sympathies from Australia to all the Prather family at Los Osos
on Jerry's passing on April 11th. Although we never met in person, only via OS/2, I considered him a true friend. He often enquired about "Port" Darwin
in the Northern Territory, where he was in WWII, and I myself was twice stationed with the Weather Bureau. Although I'm not a "Dinky Di" Aussie,
having only been here since April 1961, when I emigrated from Jersey, the largest of the (British) Channel Islands, not NJ on the East Coast, I no
longer have my original British accent, so pass for one.
When I was driving up the PCH in California in 1999 with my late wife, who
had terminal cancer and passed away three months after we returned here, we stopped for a delightful fish lunch at Morro Bay - at what I think was
called "The Fish Shack", where I was introduced to a candy variety called
"Salt Water Taffy" and I believe produced somehere in or near Michigan.
It's really great and I bought a whole load of it that day. Jerry obtained some years later for me, but with the Aussie Customs treating it as a prohibited "food", he never was able to pass it over the Pacific to me!
He always referred to Los Osos as "Far NE Australia".
Saddest condolences,
Mike O'Connor
