Info. for those who knew him or knew of him.

Arguably, the finest if not one of the finest bagpipers died yesterday morning at the age of 47. Alasdair Gillies, son of PM Norrie Gillies died suddenly.

Search for his name to see his many, many accomplishments. An absolutely wonderful, non-assuming man. Born in Scotland, serving 17 years in the Queens Own Highland, most as Pipe Major, coming to the USA to professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

RIP

I hope the 'general' forum is appropriate.
