Chiff and Fipple Forums

We are all painfully aware of the terrible fires in Australia. On a map in our Canadian media I saw that fires were raging along the west coast where I believe Terry had retired to some years back. I immediately wondered how our old friend is faring and whether his property is in danger. Does anyone have any news of him? Or perhaps Terry himself could reassure us that he is okay. Our thoughts go out to all C&F-ers in Australia

I don't have direct news, but I did notice that this Australian bushfire website reporting a fire
currently burning (in the last 12 hours) just a few hundred meters from the postal address
Terry lists on his website. I hope it is contained, or at least moving in the right direction!

I’ve been so impressed with his generosity and creativity in sharing the history and technology of the flute. Wishing you well mate

Terry has volunteered in the firefighting the past several seasons so may be a bit busy just now. . .

I am keeping him, his family, and his neighbors in my thoughts. I had a wonderful experience working with him on a flute project a few years back. He is a fine gentleman with a wonderful creative and inquiring mind.

Terry, I hope you and your family are safe in this bushfire disaster for Australia. All the best from down south in Melbourne.

Prayers for the folks on the beaches and all those affected by these hellish fires.
I hope Terry McG is Ok.

Might be a while till he is back on the net.

Hi all
We're safe,but, to use Milligans immortal phrase , cut off from the rest of the world by modern communications. Hoping to have power and comms back soon and will catch up. Great to know there is still a world out there. Somewhere....

From the world out there, I can say it's great to hear you're okay Terry!

Hi Terry, still frightening but glad to hear that you and your family are ok. Best wishes for you and all fellow Australians from Germany!

Hang in there, Terry. Glad to know you're okay.

The news accounts here in the states make it look pretty terrifying. Good luck Australia
