Yeh.. they're will be a lot of bears looking down ( including my Dad ) Raising a wee glass to them allRobert Watt - Little Boy Blue
Robert wrote for Follow Follow - both fanzine and website - for many years. We had our ups and down but he was a staunch friend with a never-ending sense of humour.
In 2011 he was diagnosed with leukaemia and survived to have some great years only to relapse and pass away in less than 24 hours.
In an email to me from hospital - reproduced below - he mentions both the 54 and the 55 - he kinda summed up his attitude to life - his various loves and likes. It resonates with me still.
Robert, this one is for you my friend.
Let the landlord fill up your glasses, and friendship fill up your hearts.
