Just read a couple of announcements that Alex McGowan, most famously the coach of Debi Thomas in the 1980s, has died. Also famous for his outspoken criticism of judging, favouritism, etc etc. Long story, but my partner and I landed in his sights once, briefly, during a practice session, and he taught us more in the few minutes that he called us over to the boards to tell us something we were doing wrong than we'd learned in whole lessons before! He said he just couldn't stand to see us making the same mistake over and over, and had to butt in
