Liz Danforth gave me the OK to repost this from her Discord:
know there are more than a few Brits here, and even more fans of T&T from the early days. An associate who still goes to Facebook just called to let me know that Flying Buffalo's British distributor, Chris Harvey, announced that he has been diagnosed with liver cancer, and has only weeks to live.
I first met Chris in the early days of Buffalo, obviously, and he was the one who arranged for Mike Stackpole and I to come to the UK for Games Day in London in the years shortly after Charles and Di were married. It was my first trip over the Atlantic, and insanely exciting, memorable, and eye-opening in so very many ways. We went to Warwick Castle, stayed in Luton with friends of Chris's, got to the British Museum.
When Chris heard I caught covid, he wrote me often with updates from the British news, especially about long covid. He wanted to come to Rick Loomis' memorial but wasn't able to travel at the time (even though it was pre-pandemic). His letter was read aloud at the service, and was beyond heartwarming. Chris was very stiff upper lip Brit, almost stereotypically traditional, but words like those showed a deeply warm and intelligent person under the armor.
Halloween is being an especially deathly year this year -- not only for me, I think, but for others (some of you here). I am deeply sorry to know Chris is going away to the west.
