Very sad to hear of Bud's passing. He was a neighbour of mine as
well as a friend and a fellow Mac user and we spent quite a bit of
time together trying to keep up and figure out the rapid growth in
computer technology something that was always a source of amazement
to him. A very cleaver and gifted man with a quiet demeanor. He
always came to the door and said "I'm so sorry to bother you but
could you help me out" ?.... As if he had to apologise.... It was
always a pleasure to help where I could...
We will miss you Bud and your artwork will be treasured and displayed
with pride.

Sadly I must tell you all that my (and our) good friend Charles
(Bud) Abbott has passed away after a short time in hospital.
I think I joined in 1968 and my number is 234, from the days of OS
5 & 6 and the Mac Plus (at first 'borrowed' from UWA for the weekend).
Charles and I always sat together in the front row at monthly
gatherings. He was always the first to arrive and saved me a seat
on the side of him that suited my hearing aid best.
Some of you may already know that Charles was an architect in his
younger days, and in retirement proved to be an excellent artist,
mainly in line drawings of well known scenery around the
metropolitan area. Occasionally he would branch out into water
colours as well.
For several years past there has always been from Charles and Jean
one of his sketches on a greetings card at Christmas, together with
a detailed history of the structure's history.
His cremation service is scheduled for 3.00 pm at Karrakatta next
Friday. Sadly I will be unable to attend.
To Jean, their 3 children, six grandchildren and 2 great-
grandchildren we xtend our sympathy.
