Dear Alan

I write on behalf of REVCOM to express our appreciation of the tremendous work you did when assisting Mr Les Lynn during the time up to and during his illness.

Without Your valuable and expert knowledge it is without doubt that REVCOM would have had serious problems. All members of the NEC were unaware of how gravely ill Les had been his death was a very great shock to us all.

There are no words that can express the gratitude of all REVCOM members for the time, effort, and dedication you have displayed during this time.

Yours truly,

A D Rigley

General Secretary
