ALAN "Richo" RICHARDSON
From Model Auto Review: Sydney Model Auto Club life member Alan Richardson died 13th April, 2001, while visiting a friend in hospital when he complained of chest pains, and went immediately to Casualty. In spite of CPR administered by the staff, he passed away at the age of 61, due to unsuspected hardening of the arteries. 'Richo' was a colourful character, and ran the Granville Swapmeet on behalf of the Club.
RICHARD FITZGERALD
Richard ran RICHARD'S BOOKS at The Entrance, NSW. Is the old yellow building still in operation, run by his wife Val? We always used to look forward to seeing Richard and a nicer bookseller and mate couldn't be found in country NSW. Taken from us at the early age of 59, never to be forgotten.

Please forward details of forthcoming events for FREE inclusion. Details MUST be in the body of an e-mail. We will NOT open attachments under any circumstances.
