    I always think about his very kind and thoughtful responses to any questions I posed requiring more experienced and learned guidance - however seemingly elementary and simple they were. He treated everyone with respect and courteousness, and never ever with a trace of anything but genuine interest and a wish to help. A very kind men, he was, I'm sure.

        I'm afraid our software wished him a happy birthday on June 1st, but fortunately the email bounced. He would have been 67. I never deleted his account because that makes it virtually impossible to track the posts, should one wish to.
        It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          Basicallly, we are all mortal,
          Some live longer than others.
          Some of us die sooner, some don't until later,
          We remember some,
          the rest - we cannot be asked
          But some we cannot be bothered
          And they, remembring us, cannot be asked

            Do miss Roehre - one of the few people here whose knowledge frightens me - just when I'm most pleased with my own comments, along he'll come and say - that's not quite accurate...there was one earlier symphony before that...

                It's called attention-seeking Anna - ignore him

                  I like this story a lot, ff - Chris was a very generous member of this Board and like so many have said already I miss him a lot, particularly at Proms time

                    P.S. How about you ignore me? Why don't you do that? Bet you can't!

                      I mentioned you in all sincerity on this thread in case you were in some sort of trouble and all you did in return was scold and mock. You are not worth worrying about.

                            I exchanged PMs with Roehre a few weeks ago and he told me that he is working abroad helping a friend out with a project and that he hoped to be back among us by mid-June. He thanks everyone for their good wishes & looks forward to re-joining us
