Chris passed just over a year ago
But his website is still functioning: https://newensign.com/
And I thought that this is worth pointing out to Tap readers
Because, under the tab “Library” at the top, there are 2000 book pdf’s that Chris accumulated over the years
About the Library
“The New Ensign Library, consists of some 2000 reformatted books, as many of them were originally from very old copies with small print and in the old Gothic script making them difficult to read.
The books are filed under categories or in the case of prolific writers under the author’s name. For this reason, a book may be difficult to find, especially as some books lend themselves to be filed under several different categories!”
Truly a scholar and a gentleman — a man of great knowledge, generosity and wisdom. What he didn’t know simply wasn’t worth knowing. Chris gave freely of his time, knowledge and kindness, always contributing so much while expecting so little in return. He is greatly missed and fondly remembered.
He was always great to debate with and had original theories and ideas. My condolences to his family – somewhat belated. His contribution is missed.
