A Sad Farewell – Vale Neville
It is with sadness I write that Neville Lang has passed away at the end of April. Neville was a friend to many people and he will be greatly missed. Neville is survived by his wife Georgie, his children Melanie and Steven and a grand daughter Taylah.
Neville has achieved great things in life and has enhanced the astrological community, being the President of the VAA from 1995 to 2000. In 2000 Neville was the convenor of the FAA International Astrology Conference “From the Dark into the Light” held in Melbourne at La Trobe University. Using his computer skills he worked developing software to help all astrologers have tools at their finger tips.
He has been an agent, chief technical support officer, programmer and also as Technical Director of Esoteric Technologies the creators of Solar Fire. Neville’s involvement in astrology also includes lectures on Vedic astrology throughout Australia, in Auckland (NZ) and Edinburgh (Scotland). He was awarded the title of “Jyotish Kovid” from India in 2001. In June 2004, Neville released Astracadabra, an astrology software program for Pocket PCs and Windows Mobile Phones that can be used for all systems of astrology.
Neville has been in our prayers since his cancer diagnosis at the end of last year, our prayers are now with Georgie and his family.
Peter Burns, the FAA Journal editor, is welcoming contribution to remember Neville for the feature that will be put together for the FAA June journal. Peterburns01@gmail.com
Until next time, Kate Holden
PS. The Zodiac Appeal for the animals injured in the Victorian Bush Fires 12 months ago.
Two years ago when fires ravaged my home state of Victoria my national and international community of astrologers heartily supported our efforts in helping Wildlife Victoria who had the gruesome task of attending to the dead, injured and displaced native animals. We are eternally grateful for your help. Your donations totalled nearly $20,000 and contributed to repairing the burnt shelters and buying food and supplies for the disenfranchised wildlife.
And once again on behalf of our terrestrial zodiac, I am appealing for your help. We have witnessed the heartbreaking images of the Queensland floods, the terror of the waters that have swept lives away and crippled an entire metropolis. While we will all benefit through your prayers, visualisation, healing and your humanity and concern, I am also appealing to you to help us with the enormous task of attending to our wounded and homeless anima/ls with a monetary donation.
During the devastating floods and storms, wildlife, livestock as well as domestic animals have been dislocated and stranded. As the rain clears and the water subsides it is becoming more evident of the enormous impact on the bionetwork and the amount of animals that have been injured and dislocated. Even in Brisbane beloved pets need to be placed in foster care while families rebuild their homes and lives. We have chosen to support the Queensland RSPCA as their outreach supports wildlife, livestock and domestic pets. Their city shelter was damaged during the floods and money is needed to repair and rebuild as well as tend for the displaced animals.
To help us with our appeal please go to www.rspcaqld.org.au and follow the prompts on line to donate to the Queensland Flood Appeal. Under Company you can type in Zodiac Appeal and also at the end with comments you can type Zodiac Appeal. After you have donated to Queensland RSPCA please register your name, location, and donation with Brian Clark or Glennys Lawton for The Zodiac Appeal register at astrosynthesis@bigpond.com.
On behalf of our animals, our terrestrial zodiac, thank you for your
kind-heartedness and being part of our celestial community,
