It is with great sadness the ASF Helictite Commission announces to readers of the Journal that Ken Grimes has died in a tragic accident involving a fallen tree at his property near Hamilton, Victoria, on 17th August 2016. Our condolences to his wife Janeen and to his family and friends. Ken made a valuable contribution to Helictite as co-editor since 1998, raising the quality of the Journal and contributing several papers. He will be greatly missed. Glenn Baddeley, Business Manager
