Did you also know that he was a boxer when he was in the army, and was a brilliant bebopper in his youth. His nibs tells me that on one occasion the whole ballroom (Rawtenstall Astoria) stopped to watch Jack strut his stuff - lots of happy memories.

Well that's something I didn't know, Cashman. Didn't know he had at one stage exchanged needle and thread for a steering wheel. We were in Australia by then.

Yes, that's what I thought, Gremlin. Maybe he did a bit of driving on the side, or the other way round.

Ol & Dotti

Jacks always done various driving jobs used to deliver a lot for a couple of butchers in the old market hall. I guess that came about with his link through Slingers. I'll ask him. ;)

Re: Sewing person needed.

I knew the name jack Gee, and I remember a driver working for Slingers of that name.....didn't know it was the same chap although he would be the right age.
