In Memory... Donald Featherstone.

A legend in the wargames community passed away this week.  I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Featherstone but from what I've read he was very kind and attentive to those he met while at the UK conventions, always eager to autograph a book.  I am lucky enough to possess several of his books and one has his autograph.  Mr. Featherstone is considered by myself and many others to be one of the fathers of modern wargaming along with Charles Grant, Tony Bath and Jack Scruby.  

Rest in peace good sir.
