Hi Lou,
Hope you enjoyed your Southampton trip.
I have the copy of the Liverpool Echo with your photo and interview in. If you dont have it let me know where to send it to.
Cheers
Brian.
This would be the best ship i have signed on its called FRIENDSHIP .Now i must thank George and Colin for looking after me while in my short stay in Southampton they were the tops i only wish it could have been longer but i will give a full report of my trip to the OLD COUNTRY when i get back to NZ and to you other shipmates thank you for your comments .Yes Brian i have the copy of the Liverpool Echo but right i am going to have a lay down having a train trip back my daughters arriving just over a 1 hour
I can only echo George's comments. it was a pleasure and an honour to have had his company for a couple of days. I won't ever forget it. Been good to know you Lou.
Hi Colin,when Lou was looking for another trip to do I was not slow in coming forward in suggesting Southampton as I knew George and yourself would be pleased to meet up with him and give him a good time.I hope the John Smiths was getting a bit of a seeing to and I'm just sorry that I could not be there to join in .Quote:

Just a little sad that Colin and I were the only ones that had the pleasure of meeting with Lou. I'm sure Syd would have come, but he is away on holiday at the moment. Jim would be great to see you here in Southampton if you ever get the chance, be nice to put the world to rights, We will be sorting out the Southampton meet up when Syd gets back from his Holidays, maybe you could make it for that fingers crossed.
