I've uploaded a third video from Dogster's Tribute last Monday. This one is a photomontage prepared by his friends Andrew Hanson and Winston Appleyard.

And to have all the links in one place for you, here are the other two again

There is one more to come - the video of the whole Tribute Celebration for those who have asked to see it.

Thanks, Tony.

Tony. Thank you so much for this.

Mary

A lovely tribute. Thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Tony.

Tony, your sharing these wonderful videos/photomontages with us is so wonderful. They are superbly done. We will toast our friend Dogster at the upcoming GTG's (Get ToGethers) from Boston to Bangkok.

He would chuckle knowing that we all just found out about each other : )

That's our Dogster for you.

BostonHarbor, I was just thinking the same thing - he would get a kick out of his worlds colliding. Thanks, Tony.

Just found this blog post from someone who attending the memorial:

It's my pleasure to share them with you.
The GTG toastings are a splendid idea, but to do it in true Dogster Celebration style, you all need to raise the glass, speak the toast, down the drink, then hurl a large number of paper plates and streamers into the air.
You'll see what I mean when I'm able to post the final Dogster Celebration video on YouTube.

Just floated a candle on the Ganges for dogster.

cheers

A candle is nice but a quick dip might have been better...

Maybe the fact that crosscheck didn't get dragged into the Ganges by the giant dog is another indicator that dogster is watching over her on this trip.

Yes, someone indeed was watching over us, not just keeping the giant dogs away but also providing solutions for high water lever issues. Just arrived home after a magical journey - stay tuned for trip report.

Welcome home. We look forward to the TR.

Hiya pal -
Looks like I am more than a bit late for sending bon voyage wishes your way...but I sense you will snatch them out of cyberspace somehow even though the party apparently has long since been over.

Should have figured something was up when there was no reply to my last email sent your way but honestly just thought the dastardly dawg had just gotten you involved in another of his, ahem, situations.

Much love and good wishes for your grandest of adventures. No doubt it will be EPIC. A cruise on the river Styx maybe ? Ha! Would love to read about that one on Fodors.

Areverderci mate.

For those holding their breath, sorry for the delay, I've only just received the full dvd of Dogster's Tribute / Farewell in Melbourne. Some processing for me to do then I'll deliver to YouTube and post the link here. A few days more.

So glad you haven't forgotten us, wattz. We (gratefully) await the video.

Thanks so much, wattz. I found this tribute to Nigel written by his agent, who was his frequent travel companion.

She mentions Fodors, and also quotes dogster's touching message to Gpanda, posted by Marija in this thread.

Crosscheck, what a wonderful thing to run across on the web. Thanks for sharing it with us.

R.I.P. Dogster

I often pop back for a read of his posts. I was shocked and saddened to read this.

What a truly great man.

His advice was very useful for our family trip to India but, his reports and posts were even better, I have had many a laugh and a cry too having spent so much time reading Dogster's stuff.

Thanks to all Fodorites who take time and trouble to write. Must dash, off to Rome in a couple of days for a week.
