My friend Ian Amell. That’s EYE-an, not EE-an. I once overheard Ian explain to someone why he thought Ian should be pronounced EYE-an instead of EE-an. I wasn’t really following the thread, but it was something Ian felt strongly about.
Ian was gifted with a Sahara-dry wit and an even wryer sense of humour. It was a valued acknowledgement from Ian to earn one of his wry smirks.
