<DIV>I wish to "echo" Maureen's comments regarding Eric....what a joy to compare writing notes with him</DIV>
<DIV>while doing the Dist 3 VP column during his stint as Editor....he never forgot the VP's at Christmas time</DIV>
<DIV>with those Jams, jellies, cheeses, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I once sent him a photo of the "line-up" of porta-johns at the TOC....with the caption of " nothing but the</DIV>
<DIV>best for TOC spectators"......he changed my caption to "announcers' HQ". His sense of humor was only</DIV>
<DIV>exceeded by his talents!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We're all "richer" for having crossed his path in the past. Condolences indeed!</DIV>

<DIV>What a total shock. I just spoke with Eric not too long ago.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Eric was a fantastic person and was the K-Factor Editor for several years. He did a fantastic job with the K-Factor and Eric was definitely a major asset to NSRCA.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our condolences to Ellen and Family.</DIV>

<DIV>> D'Hawk was an integral part of the NSRCA when I was District VP. He had a lot to do with improving the quality of the KFactor when he became editor and his company took over printing.</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> Although I never met him, I talked with him several times on the phone regarding the KFactor and pattern in general. He was a fine person, and will surely be missed.</DIV>

<DIV>> Eric Hawkinson passed away early this morning (Sept.1)</DIV>
<DIV>> from the effects of a rare blood disorder. As he was</DIV>
<DIV>> at one time quite well known in the pattern circle I</DIV>
<DIV>> thought I should let you know. As I am not a member of</DIV>
<DIV>> the NSRCA discussion list at this time, would you mind</DIV>
<DIV>> making a post to the list? I know that he had many</DIV>
<DIV>> friends that are members of the list.</DIV>
