Re: Happy Father's Day
Julie, My son Rick lives in Greenville, South Carolina so I usually get one at this time and am sweating on it but it's 14 hours behind us just down the road from Vernon.

Re: Happy Father's Day
Have had cards from my three, also Giant Cadburys Bar, Heroes Chocs and Maltesers,
playing havoc with my waistline.!!!!
Also from my son a book "Spitfire" The Memorabilia Collection, he knows I've got a soft spot for these planes,,
used to watch them take off from Fairlop Aerodrome during the war.

about an aeroplane which is so bloody
complicated you can't understand it, take
it from me - it's all balls. " - R J Mitchell.
