Hello John,
Thanks for the email. lovely to here from you. I spent many hours with Tom loading in different locations. He was a lovely man. Do you remember James Allen (The Yank). He has been down here over the last weekend. I met up with him at Benny Rowalls house. He also met Wilf Bellamy, and Mick Goodwill. He was asking about anyone living in the Selby area. If you see any of them can you let me know. Sorry to have taken so long replying, we were on holiday.
All the best, Dave
