Mate! I'm not heavily into jewellery - or body art, 'cause I've fainted
every time I've had a tattoo, (twice) - but the Titan Triggerfish that Ray
made and gave me sits on my desk and is seen and admired every day; not
least because of the generosity of spirit in which it was given, but also as
a constant reminder that Ray was truly a gentleman willing to share his
talents with the rest of us privileged to have met him.

At least one!  Ray deserved more! :-)
