Hi Del, you took the words right out of my mouth (was Kenny a big fat bloke? ) he was storekeeper in the California Star 1/12/67 - 27/5/68 his best pal was Jim ? the donkeyman, Kenny ordered a suit in Hong Kong and wouldn't pay for it, it had a seam up the back of the jacket and he wanted a full back, I don't think there was enough material in China to make a full back jacket for him.
