Sadly Andy Franks (AndyF) passed away two weeks ago, his family have asked that this sad news be made known on the forum that he frequented: his Funeral will be held tomorrow at Altringham Cheshire, our thoughts are with Andy's family at this sad time.

Andy was the moderator of the Yahoo 7×12 Minilathe group to which I have subscribed for many years.

A nicer, more understanding moderator would be hard to find in any online forum.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Regards from the land of the kangaroo
