No just stayed local - it kept fine so was a fun day out - no trouble happened.
I marched in the Yellow Ribbon contingent
(Oak tree Inn breakers) we had a banner - most clubs did

It was a real laugh in those days, riding about "Brickhouse" in your "wrapper" looking out for the Busbys and the Smokeys. BIG TEN FOUR, good buddies.

Oh my. Like messages from beyond. I remember being in his room late 80's whilst he talked to people using morse code. Years later when I got a guitar I learned that Ern played guitar too. Taught me a how to play a GMajor scale. ****, miss you Ern :guitarist

He was good friends with my Uncle Roy, who also works on the buses
