Karin, son Pete and I met up with Bob W on Sunday in Greenwich. We had lunch (the beer list is still intact) and since it was a lovely day we decided to walk along the Thames out towards the Thames Barrier.
Bob remembered that I'd shown him my father's gold wristwatch (which I wear every day) with an inscription on the back celebrating 40 years service with Wm Cory and Son where my dad worked in the accounts department of the barge works in the 50s and 60s. Bob said that he thought the works were still there - and 3 or 4 miles later, there they were - just as I remember from the occasions when I'd go with my dad when he worked on Saturdays. Here's the sign on the wall of the offices - obviously from that era and still there. Brought a bit of a lump to my throat it did... http://www.zen50061.zen.co.uk/riverwalk/slides/_IGP2062.jpg Chris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
