I would like to apologize for the lack of posts in April. I have been ill and unable to meet my obligations in that regard. I have just completed what will be (I am sorry to say), my final post (dated April 01 2024). To all my readers, I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for your acceptance of my articles down the years, but I fear I am unable to continue at present. A special thanks must go to my most loyal reader, the wonderful Cat from Scotland. I shall miss you.
Fondest regards Alan
I can only echo Catmac’s and Mike’s comments, Alan, and add that I have marveled at your level of commitment to the blog and particularly your commitment to research and scholarship, both of which I believe have been amply demonstrated across the years.
As a person of similar age and the prospect and fact of encroaching health issues, I wish you the very best in life and contentment that you have used nostalgia and technology to bring fun stories about real people to the rest of us.
And I will now peruse your booklist and make some overdue purchases.
Thank you, Alan.
Best regards from Los Angeles,
Dan

Your loyal readers send you love, respect and gratitude for sharing your passion and talent. It’s been a blast.
I have had great pleasure reading your articles here over the years, Alan. I pray & hope that your health will be restored to you soon. Thank you.
