Remembering Michaela

Madam, – I am no sports aficionado but read Tom Humphries every week both for its passion and for the wonder of his prose. Rarely has anything moved me in print as much as his piece on the tragic death of young Michaela Harte McAreavey (Sport, January 17th). He captured in it all that is important in family, community and indeed in Life – with a capital L. It has been said before on these pages and I’ll repeat it. Tom Humphries for President! – Yours, etc,
