As great characters move on to a higher place we tend to remember them by the telling of stories and events that they amused us by. Telling of such memories is to be commended but writing them down for future research and generations is even a better deed. Anybody doing research into the light social history of our society will realise how many of our older people have left us in recent years. We hear the term “Why didn’t I ask him that when I had the chance?” Time moves on and people move on, so let us capture what we can while we are able.
