    One of the very best novelists in my time reading books. He kept it up so long I was always sure there would be another leCarré. I for one lament his passing.

    George Smiley. What an enduring character.

    The opening tune is "The Maple Leaf Forever" which almost got to be our national song (actually was, for a time).

    That's good. When I just now saw this thread had replies I got a crashy feeling in my stomach, didn't want to look. But now I feel better. Viva Trim!
    (and pjh too, anyhow)
