Hi Tom, this is Erl (Erlend Lee)
I hope you are in good health and spirits?
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Ms Brown-Kilcourse (I save up her first name to check that I am communicating with the genuine Ruskin Tom (the internet being swarming with scammers of all kinds and everywhere))
Ever since leaving Ruskin I have chatted with a small group of Ruskinites, initially at London restaurants and, as we grew older, 6 weekly meetings on computers, via Zoom (V simple. You receive an email with an invite and you simply click on the invite, All rest is automatic)
Would you like to join us? We are next meeting Wednesday, 2nd October or November 13th, and so on.
We have lost Richard Brown (Dementia. Luey Bodies, and Malcolm Dean who is alive but deep into Alzheimer’s
