Hi Lou
Yes will be good to catch up with the Capt,and i am sure as you are a long Serving Member of the Merchant Navy,you will have a lot more to chat about than me!
As you know my service wasnt too long,so i am hoping that the Capt can tell me a lot more than i know!
He is good at telling Yarns isnt he!
Seems like a good sort!
Cheers
PS Lou i really am enjoying your tales of the POW Days as well,it must have been bleeding hard and again as before i raise my hat to you and all others that did so much for us all!
With Respect!
Doc

Hi Joe
Please see the following regarding the Meet!
Thanks
Sorry you didnt see this previously,i thought you had!
Cheers
Doc Vernon
Thursday the 1st March
Hi Doc (Vernon),
Your advice to Joe regarding the meet with Capt.Kong has me confused (but then I'm easily
confused). It was my understanding that because Kong had a barbecue engagement on Friday, March 2nd, the meet had been re-scheduled for Thurs, March 1st. Please clarify for my peace of mind. As I said previously, either date suits me.
Incidentally, Joe (Doyle), I'm glad to hear that you're going to join us. As Doc has already said, the more the merrier, mate.
.................Roger.
Hi Roger
Well mate i too am confused,and i thank you for reminding me of the actual Day! Whew! I would have been i hot Water with you and Joe!
Yes you are quite correct about the Day! It was changed!
Re: Change of plan !??

Hi Vernon,
I have a problem , with communication with these two women I have.
I have told the Long Haired one that I was meeting you and Roger on Friday. Unfortunately I am now getting a hard time off them. HER Mate Barbara has arranged a Barbie at one of her friends home on Friday somewhere in Sydney as it is our last night there.
They have just informed me. So is it possible to change the meet up to Thursday. Sorry to be a nuisance on this, but it is now survival time for me between these two Dreadnoughts. last time she brings a mate along. I am going dememted and SHE wonders why I want a drink.
Thanks for your help in this.
Cheers
Brian.
Vernon,
I have no problems with that arrangement whatsoever, Thurs. 1/3/12 it is. Don't you just love Brian's posts ? You can almost hear the distress in his voice, poor s-d.......Roger
So it will then be the
Thursday the 1st March at the time and places stipulated!
So sorry about that both to you and Joe!
Joe i hope that will be OK with you.
See you both on the Train then!
Cheers
Vernon
At this early stage if the Trains are on time etc,and all goes well i will be on the 9.09AM Train from Blackheath gets to Emu Plains (Stops there) at 10.29am,then gets to Penrith (where i think it would be better to join us there Roger) at 10.33am,as the Train gets pretty full at Parramatta,and it will be nice if we could sit together!
Gets to Central at just after 11.30am which will give us time to get to Monties via the Light Rail from just outside Central.
This is Iterim will let you know for sure later!
Thanks
All above Info now confirmed by me that is,so hopefully the two of you will confirm as well!
Thanks Lads! Looking forward to seeing you both and of course the Capt!
Cheers
Doc!
