Old mates
Looking through some old photos yesterday of guys I knew, possible some of you may have come across them in your travels.
Two stand out more than others, there was a Johnny Walker and his mate Ron Bacardi.
They had a close friend often went by the name of Doc Gordons, and an Aussie by the name of Foster.
Did any of you ever meet any of them?


Happy daze John in Oz.
