In an e-mail from Pete Convey:

Dear all

I am sorry to be passing this on by e-mail, but I have just 
learnt the extremely sad news that Ian Thompson died yesterday.

Our sympathies are with his wife, Anne, and those close to him. 
In due course I will pass on details of funeral arrangements,

If fidelity to freedom of democracy is the code of our civic 
religion, then surely the code of our humanity is faithful 
service to that unwritten commandment that says we shall give 
our children better than we ourselves received.

Dear Thomson,

How are you doing? I just wanted to let you know that I got into UC Riverside 
and I owe it all to you man. I am still waiting on UC Irvine and UC Merced. 
I wasn't planning on applying to any UC's at all because of my GPA and SAT 
scores but I'm glad you forced me to. I will be the first one in my family 
to go to college and hopefully the first one to graduate. Thanks again for 
all the help you've given me on the personal statement and for giving me all 
the cool books for me to read this year.
