I remember Stephen very well. He and I were part of the team that went to, I'm sure, every village in Wales looking for an HDP site, towns whose names only Stephen could pronounce correctly. I loved to hear him talk. When we found Tairgwaith (there should be some apostrophes in the spelling of the name) one of the first things we learned was that the membership of the local "working men's club" (pub) was larger than the population of the whole village. I also learned that almost 99% of the people in Wales are named either Evans, Davies or Williams. We stayed with two different Williams families during that time, and b<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR>oth
treated me like the prodigal son returned home.</SPAN></div>

<DIV>Dear Colleagues,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Stephen Evans died a few days ago, much too young. He had colon cancer. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He was the Welshman in the trio with Frank Little and Alan Berresford who joined us around the same time in the UK - in 1973 or there-abouts. He played a key role in starting the HDP project in Tairgwaith. I recall that there was a car accident in which he was involved and that he moved on. Some said that we weren't at our best around that issue with him. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am glad Frank Little has been in touch with him, even 10 days ago. He is planning to attend the funeral, in some way representing all of us. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I remember the beauty of his Welsh voice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Grace and Peace,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Paul</DIV>
