[governance] Sad news? Action taken

[Deirdre Williams]

By no means your fault, but a good move I think, from everyone's point of
view.
The first one of these I ever received was "from" someone sufficiently my
friend that I would have come to the rescue if they really had been stuck in
London. It seemed such a convincing story - I felt so mean for going to
investigate first.
I'm glad I did. And of course the person herself knew nothing about it at
all.
Cheers
Deirdre
