In addition to me, my brother Ian Kennedy has contributed a HUGE amount to this site in the way of HTML writing, suggestions as to the layout and so on. Although he hasn't done a great deal on the actual content, in terms of overall contribution he should really be regarded as co-author.
On Monday 27th May 2020 Graham was admitted to the local hospital were tests showed that he had metastatic cancer. A secondary infection was affecting his breathing and causing very low blood pressure. The doctors say that the infection flared early on the morning of the 4th May and he died peacefully at approximately 9:45am. He had tested negative for Corona Virus.
From this point on the site will be maintained and updated by Ian Kennedy, Graham's older brother:

Up until now I have been the technician behind the mechanics of the site, allowing Graham to concentrate on the content without concern for how it worked. I only hope I can live up to the standard of the content Graham has been providing.
