I tried to find an old friend who lived with us at Wesendorf in Block 8 near the East gate guardroom.He was a Sgt Stone,and I always remember once his son knocked on our door and asked if our James could come out and play.My wife said okay,and being the lady she is she asked the lad how his Mum and Dad were,the lad said,"Oh,they are fine,playing puffer trains on the sofa when I left"!Being a Gent I took it Dad was blowing on his trumpet???? -------- Don
