  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
