    I met John and dear Val a few times many years ago, back during the early 80's. Two of the calmest, most warm hearted and relaxed people I've ever met on this entire Earth. I'm sorry Val is no longer with us in this material dimension, but really pleased John is doing well. Best wishes to both of you.

    Thank you for taking the time to recognise, respect, and honour your Dad as an Elder and custodian of ancient learnt skills. He reflected a truth, that he may have started the journey, but you have embraced a wider knowledge base across multiple disciplines, looking backward in time and projecting forward in technologies. It’s so great to see two men who love each other deeply. How inspirational. Thank you again.

Perhaps it's a good thing your Dad never became a rock star in the musical sense but ofcourse he is a "Rock Star" in the context of Flint knapping:) Also lost my Dear old Mum 8 years ago, my Dear old Dad died way back in 1988 aged 58, he was a great Man too.
