From our first meeting, Foggs was an inspiration to me and always a great source of help and encouragement. Not just for his achievements in poetry -- not least his brilliant cobweb -- but his always perceptive and shrewd advice when reading my poems. No soft touch! I'll miss him -- especially his humour -- and regret that we didn't spend more time together. My fault. God bless Foggs. Love and respect from Mick Di Placido.
