You wouldn.t think this clean cut lad would one day turn into an old reprobate would you.

Comment by: Frank Healy on 11th March 2009 at 11:26

Hi Trencher. Mischievous face, calculating eyes, CROOKED TIE; a budding reprobate if ever I saw one :o)

You know when I first saw this pic I thought it was Cliff Higham. Don't they lok similar. In fact Fred who I dont know is probably the handsomest.

Comment by: Fred Mason on 7th July 2009 at 20:13

But, Vera, my lovely, I am of course the handsomest...!!!!

Also just found out that Cliffy and I are first cousins. Howz about that then!!!

Comment by: C. Brown on 9th July 2009 at 16:11

Ah, but a better bunch of lads I have never seen, and I have travelled far and wide...

Comment by: Jim Ince on 30th April 2010 at 09:59

Wow, is that you, Olwyn Moorfield, from St John's, Pem?

If so, I do remember you well.

Cliff Higham and Fred Mason are distant cousins. Not many people know that.
