Dear All,

There is of course not much I can add to what Rob Mitchell has
already said about the tragic death of Ben Rainbow.  Ben was a
wonderful man who had a profound effect on me and, I think,
everybody who met him.  He had such energy, charisma and humour that 
I don't think I have ever met in one single person, before Ben or after. 
Not only that but he was a bloody good Ultimate player- the player
whom I was most in awe of when I began playing with Fingers.

Although we had known for a while that he was ill, this doesn't make 
his death any less shocking or harder to bare.  My thoughts are with 
Ben's family and closer friends.

Love and Luck,

Lawrence PAULSON.
