Small world isn't it?"

I don't remember it of course. I arrived very late in life for them and we lived on Countess St then. Before then thay lived on Rawson Avenue, but I have no idea of the number. I had a brother - 16 years older than I - Derek Yates, AGS, H&B Drawing Office, Pioneer Drawing office and then South Wales and the world with BNS.
We must be of a similar generation though.
If you knew Margaret, you'd probably also know my dad. My grandparents lived at number six, and my dad was born the same year as yourself and Margret.

Small world.
