This is more for the "old guard".
I am sad to report that my mother died this morning after some months of illness, she passed peacefully and gently,   with my sister, Sue, and me at her bedside at home in Portugal. My father Tom Brown died in December 2012. Their 25-year racing partnership was punctuated with small wars but never boring.  When Ma retired from racing, Pa went on to race his beloved Laser until shortly before he died.
