Evening Everyone ! As it had been a while I thought I would say Hello and wish you all a Merry Xmas, I have recently been to the Military Tattoo in Birmingham and had a wonderful evening, bringing back many memories and the occasional tear to my eye ! All the best , regards George .
Hi George pleased to see you have posted, may I wish you and your family a merry christmas amd all the best in 2012. let us hope that we will hear more from you soon. by the way I have just managed to get in touch with B Jones who was in Asqn with us, he lives in the Birmingham area and I have had a long chat with him on Sunday, I have tried to find him a number of times, and when I was at a friends house the Sunday before he had the Sunday Mercury and so I thought that I would put a letter in the mail column enquiring to see if anyone knew of him and on Sunday he phoned me as soon as he had heard about it, I told him about the reunion and he said that he will there, I am hoping that he will be coming over to see me soon at home as he comes to the Telford area playing golf. I am sure you will know him as he remembers Ted Ayles and Ted Wort and quite a number of the Asqn lads as well.

Butch, B Jones tells me that he doe's not have a computer, his pastime is golf, I put him as B as I cannot remember what is christian name is, I am sure he told me but there seems to have been a senior moment where the memory deserts me.

Butch I have had another chat with the gentleman this morning and he is the person that we all knew in Asqn he is Brian Jones ex Lcpl, we came back together for demob in 1961, he remembers quite a number of lads that were in Asqn still and he is looking forward to meeting them all again at the reunion next year. George he mentioned you to me today and he wishes to be remembered to you.

Hello John
ReplyDeleteI am sure I know Brian he is pictured on one of my photographs pictured in front of the three tonne Bedford outside Tiger Breweries, I remember him as living in the Northfield area of Birmingham not far from the Austin works. I would like to get in touch with him also and am happy for you to pass on my details if he so wishes to do so. At the very least when you next speak to him please remember me to him.
Many Thanks John, I hope you you are well.
Will do George.
