I knew fred very briefly. He was a very unique and interesting individual whom I could tell had a long and adventerous life. I appreciated that as true Yankees, he and Sally had built a wonderful compound of maritime equipment; many boats, docks and associated tackle. I marvelled at his mechanical prowess, and can only imagine that his skills in BioChemistry etc were even more impressive. He will be missed. Peter Fitton
