[Magdalen] A death of an old Friend

[Jim Guthrie]

Of your mercy, please say a prayer for my old high school friend Tim Wall.

Tim died yesterday afternoon (November 4). He's being buried by Islamic rites 
today.
He leaves Rashida, his wife, and Tahir his five year old son.

Tim was a fellow musician in high school, and was saxophonist in our little 
Jazz/Dixieland band "The Seven Spades" whose claim to fame was as house band on 
Ray Heatherton's "Breakfast Club" radio program (until the musician's union went 
crazy). Some of you may have heard of his brother Jeremy, co-founder of the Jazz 
Fusion "Spyro Gyra."

He met Rashida a few years ago while working on the staff of the United Nations 
in New York.

RIP, Tim, old friend.

Jim
