I had met Gerard a few times when I was a boy, and it was very unusual, I went to St.Andrews in those days when Les Dean was Headmaster, unknown to me that he was related to the lady that lived at the cottage (Nelly Dean) and I used to run a few errands for her you cannot imagine the embarrassment when I called round one day and Les Dean answered the door I thought I had done something wrong untill the lady explained that I did errands for when invited in I was intoduced to Gerard apparently he was Les Dean's cousin I think the the Lady was Les's auntie but not sure whether she was Gerard's mum or not
sorry to have waffled on
your doing a great job
thanks
