h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

When I heard about Douglas's death I couldn't believe it. My thoughts went out to his family and friends and their devastating loss. I know a little of how they might be feeling - my mother died 17 months ago. If you could call a private wish that Douglas has arrived safely to whatever happens next, then you could say my prayers go out to him, too.

I couldn't say that I knew the big man, as by the time I'd arrived at h2g2 he'd flown the bosom of the UK to live in Santa Barbara, to work on the script of the film. However, we did see him in the office from time to time, almost stooping to get through the door. So tall.

On site you could say I'm a wallflower looking onto the h2g2 Community. I've always been rather like that. And this morning I've been reading the threads of condolence, coming in faster than I can read them. I'm so proud to be a part of such a supportive, mutally respectful and sensitive group of people. Best of all I like the fact that many postings have put smiles on faces at this sad time, that memories have been shared. I send out big hugs to you all.

back.

Just got directed over here by Abi...

Congratulations and good luck!
