Bill was a very helpful guy and in fact transported me to Pannal Ash for 10 weeks in the depths of winter 1956. He had a motorbike and sidecar and I used to chill out in the sidecar. We lost contact with each other when he moved to Traffic but I remember him as a great person who helped me in my early career.

First I have to apologise for the delay in getting comments on the Book of Condolence.

Regretfully my wife is in City Hospital and I am not able to devote as much time to NARPO as I would like.
