Editors Message ------------------------------------- Message from Alan Watson - The Magic One They say two sure things in life death and taxes. Well I would like to add a third for the computer owner - the dreaded computer CRASH. On Saturday, night my computer hard-drive was totally corrupted and unfortunately this Sunday's MagicNZ e-zine was lost! Could last week's contributors please re-send their messages so they can be included in next week's MagicNZ e-zine. On a more positive note, my good friend Chris Parkinson has professionalised the 'Archives' for the MagicNZ e-zine, go to: www.watson.co.nz/ezine.html Both the User Name and Password MUST be entered in lower case to gain access.

Frank Newmarch died peacefully today ------------------------------------- Message from Ross Skiffington I received this today. Very sad news indeed. Would you kindly spread the word as requested. --------------------- PO Box 3035 New Plymouth 18 September 2000 Dear Ross Your letter arrived today just 3 hours after Frank went to God. He died peacefully at 7.15am NZ time, Monday the 18th September 2000. He will by now know the contents of your letter and I am sure sends his regards. Could you let us know where we could inform his other magician friends of his death. Is there a web site that would be suitable to post such a note? Sorry to be the bearer of such sad news but rest assured Frank was well loved and cared for by all who knew and nursed him and he was ready for his final journey. Yours sincerely, Louise Werder-Bridgeman Manager Mission Rest Home and Gwen and John Wills (Friends) 113 Govett Ave New Plymouth ---------------------------------- 3.
