CFZ PEOPLE: David Kingston has died

A few weeks ago we posted a news story about David Kingston, founder of the Dorchester UFO Conference. He was a benefactor to the CFZ about ten years ago, and we were sad to hear that he was suffering from terminal cancer.

What we didn't realise was how far along the disease had progressed. Late last night we received this e-mail:

"A line to let you all know that David Kingston passed away this afternoon. His good friend Stewart Langdown will be later putting round further details to David's list but I am sending this in case some in my address list, are not on it. As I understand it David discovered a year or so ago that he had cancer which finally involved his lungs, stomach and brain.

His wife Mary and his family were at his bedside today. David was a tireless worker for truth and through his website, conferences and lectures, encouraged a great number of people to go on their own explorations of the mysteries of the universe. Now David is en route to uncovering one of the greatest mysteries of all and we wish him a fond bon voyage on his last great journey.

Please remember Mary and their family in your thoughts and prayers."

David was a good man. I didn't always agree with what he said, but he always said it for the right reasons. Although working in a field only tangentally linked to our own, he was a man of integrity, and I am glad that I knew him. Forteana is a poorer place today...
