RIP Mr. Manning. Condolences to Mrs, family and friends.
Patrick Manning's political life was admirable. It showed he liked what he did, and belonged to his country. Let us hope he gets a send off which can reflect some his life, eg., giving Pan the relevant prominence at the event.
Since a big part of Patrick Manning's legacy was his contribution to the PAN -- let us PLAY ONE FOR HIM.
