Tony Kehoe, who was working for FPS in England, attended
the very first IDL class I (or anyone else, probably)
ever taught. FPS was to become the first European
distributors of IDL. Tony hadn't been in the class 10 minutes
before we started laughing about something, and it was pretty
much non-stop laughter for the next 10 years, before
he died unexpectedly at a very young age.

He would invite me over twice a year to teach an IDL
class, but that was completely secondary. Our primary
mission was to find somewhere interesting in the UK
to walk. We would spend days tramping around, laughing,
and talking about IDL. I miss him a lot, and thinking
about FPS just makes me miss him more.

Cheers,

David
