John Hawkins was a climber. A true corckonian. A big generous friendly man. Tragically he died in the Alps in the summer of 1998.

I was going to use this node as an eulogy to him. To recount my memories, tell stories, turn bits into a fleeting memorial to a soul that should not have left so suddenly

And you, the unknown reader, will you think of those that have passed when you read this?. Will you think of those that will post/node of you when you are gone?
