Dear Brother, we had some indepth discussions over a beer or two while watching rugby. The banter at times must have driven Lynda up the wall. Katelyn enjoyed coming around and helping her uncle to pick on Dad. Thank you Graham. The brother club vault doors are now sealed forever. Everytime I have a beer I will think of you, and I promise I won't stop drinking!. Till we meet and and have a beer again, your brother Ian.
