Oresti Patricios commented on Tribute to Alan McClarty
I remember the first time I was in Lagos and you heard that I was there you called me to ensure that I felt at home.

We never met often enough but must say that I often thought about you, especially when I was on my "worldwind tour" of Nigeria. That is something I now regret.

Will miss you. RIP
