Obit: Terry Fields, Militant MP – the workers’ MP on a workers’ wage
from http://www.marxist.com/terry-fields-obituary.htm
We have just received the sad news of the death of Terry
Fields, a Militant supporter and Labour MP for Liverpool Broadgreen (1983 -92).
He died over the weekend after a long struggle with cancer. Terry is remembered
by all the comrades who knew him as a true class fighter and a man who stuck to
his socialist principles throughout.

Whatever you thought of Fields' politics, he was one of the most principled and honest exponents of them. Few would deny him that.

Sheldon Brown, creator of the awesome bike maintenance website , dies

His site: http://sheldonbrown.com

This is primarily a piece of sad news and secondarily a link to an awesome maker's site. Sheldon Brown recently passed away due to a heart attack. Sheldon has been famous and admired by cycling enthusiasts all over the world for his cheerful, helpful personality, his willingness to spread his knowledge, his sense of humor and his amazing site full of bicycle bodging / modding / making / maintaining information. He'll be sorely missed. I feel that many makers will know of Sheldon and his website already and those who do not would find his site tremendously useful.
