Neither a PM to Dick's account nor an e-mail to his registered e-mail address (which actually belongs to one of his sons) has elicited a response. For obvious reasons, I do not want to push the issue, so I am taking an executive decision (I might make middle management yet!) and am renaming the 'Picture Gallery / Our Collections' section of the Forum 'Dick Kwak's Picture Gallery / Member's Collections' with immediate effect. Please regard this as a temporary title until we have input from Dick's family.
In the meantime, please feel free to propose alternative titles.

I would lose the 'Picture' as a gallery often means pictures of some sort and put 'The' at the front.

'The Dick Kwak Gallery'.

Any objections?

No objection from me. It will be a worthy tribute to a much loved member of the forum who is sadly missed.

A brief explain under the heading for the title as well would be handy for those who do not know the back story such as guest visitors.

To name the gallery after a (beloved) person who never, ever posted a picture is very much an inside joke.

Precisely, but one which will bring a smile to every Member's face every time they notice it, and I have no doubt whatsoever that Dick would have seen the funny side of it.
I have now updated the name to 'The Dick Kwak Gallery'.

I agree that it’s so ironic to name the gallery after Dick who never posted an image, he has had the last laugh, god love him.

Indeed ironic and though Kwackers never posted a pic, he never really needed to as his writing described things so very well. Both he and his posts are dearly missed and well remembered. Very fitting and nice to know, that he will have a special place that gives tribute to him, on our forum.
