45 years+!

Hard as it is for me to believe, I have now been an ACF member for over 45 years!

Many thanks to all those who make the ACFB such an excellent publication.

Re: John McGill passed away

John McGill: one of the all-time greats without a doubt.

I only met him once, at the 1984 Home Internationals, where we had 2 draws.

His performance in the 1973 International Match vs. the USA is an apt reflection of his ability.

He will be sorely missed.
