He went to work with WCT after Water Heyes closed down I think. Where he worked with my father, Maureen, please pass on my regards.

I remember Roy very well, anyone know how Graham Howarth is...we were really good friends
I lost touch with him some years ago would be nice to contact him again

Gerry and Roy remember them very well from my days walking the beat in in Wigan and the cockroaches in the canteen at the top of the wiend had many a brew in there when I was on Market Place Beat. John Briscoe do you remember the saturday nights out in Blackpool and Yates's wine lodge. Just to let you know that I'm still alive and kicking and for my sins living in East Yorkshire.
