   My deepest sympathies from Australia to all the Prather family at Los Osos   
   on Jerry's passing on April 11th. Although we never met in person, only via   
   OS/2, I considered him a true friend. He often enquired about "Port" Darwin   
   in the Northern Territory, where he was in WWII, and I myself was twice   
   stationed with the Weather Bureau. Although I'm not a "Dinky Di" Aussie,   
   having only been here since April 1961, when I emigrated from Jersey, the   
   largest of the (British) Channel Islands, not NJ on the East Coast, I no   
   longer have my original British accent, so pass for one.   
      
   When I was driving up the PCH in California in 1999 with my late wife, who   
   had terminal cancer and passed away three months after we returned here, we   
   stopped for a delightful fish lunch at Morro Bay - at what I think was   
   called "The Fish Shack", where I was introduced to a candy variety called   
   "Salt Water Taffy" and I believe produced somehere in or near Michigan.   
   It's really great and I bought a whole load of it that day.  Jerry obtained   
   some years later for me, but with the Aussie Customs treating it as a   
   prohibited "food", he never was able to pass it over the Pacific to me!   
      
   He always referred to Los Osos as "Far NE Australia".   
      
   Saddest condolences,
