tribute to douglas
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
When I saw on B.B.C. teletext service last Saturday that Douglas had died,my heart sank like a stone.Whilst I'm not the most avid of readers,the Hitch-Hikers trilogy(in five parts)is the only set of books I've ever read more than twice.
My personal favourite characters were Arthur,like me,the eternal pessimist and Marvin whose one liners I could readily readily relate to.
To know that Douglas also had a love of wildlife and conservation only made my liking for the man grow.I just wwish I could have met him to thank him personally for all the joy and no doubt tears of laughter he bought to so many people.
God bless you,Douglas.
