I've been away from this forum for a few weeks with the occasional drop-in lurk.
Today as I open my computer to the world wide web this is the very first thing I have looked at and in reading everyone's posts I am as gratified by the simple human kindness that has been universally expressed as I am touched by the change in one man's health and ability to carry on his hobby.
A hobby is just a simple entertainment for the mind, a human spirit is a powerful force.
Be strong Martyn Bannister, be true to yourself, be brave and know that out in the world you have many friends.
Pete

Martyn...I do hope things work out for you. I personally know that there are times when other things are much more important than this hobby of ours. Wish you well in all things my friend.

I would like to thank you all for your kind thoughts. I realise that most of you don't know me from Adam, except from my rambling and ill informed posts. In the couple of years I have been on this forum I have learnt an enormous amount, had many pleasant conversations with the vastly knowledgable and friendly people on here. I am truly grateful for that experience. The knowledge and skills shared with me here have been awesome.
I have taken Stephen (saffersteve) up on his kind offer to try to pull my collection together and sell it on in an informed way. Lets hope it all goes to good homes.
Many thanks to you all and I hope to chat again to you over the coming months. Take care and thanks again. |
Being taken care of by Stephen.

Yes, but that was a long time ago and we've not heard anything since. We know Stephen picked them up because he posted a pic of them all on his kitchen table, but unless I missed it, there's been no further news.

Fellow MFL members: Ian was good enough to do some research and unfortunately he discovered what many of us had feared. It appears that our friend Martyn has passed away earlier this year. I feel badly that I/we didn't know much earlier, but apparently no one here was close enough friend to have known. Please see the obituary at the following link and join me in a few moments of remembering Martyn, whether through prayer or however you choose to honor him and his memory.
http://announce.jpress.co.uk/23723249?s_source=jppo_ptp
I will remember Martyn as an enthusiastic photographer and contributor to this forum, and a very kind and generous person. In that light, I will be interested in pursuing a conclusion to his intended liquidation of his lens collection and donation to charity. You will all be receiving more information soon. I hope Stephen Saffer will read this and provide some news.
