Re: Daughter of Dick Turpin (Beaverbank 1959)
Dear Natalie,
Sincerest condolences on the sad loss of your father. I did not know your father; but I too, served with The Bank Line as an engineer from '64 to '68 on the M.V. Teakbank prior to migrating to Australia. I wish you calm seas and following winds on your journey to accepting and healing your loss. We seafarers and engineers are a band of brothers you know...beckoned by Providence to go down to the sea in ships, who have an equal temper of heroic hearts not made weak by time and fate. My thoughts are with you.
Stay safe
Raleigh
