hello jac,what a moment when i read your mail,i have very vivid memories of my whole time at Richards and the last 2 years at Kearns i have had a degree of success and been lucky in my career having owned my own company TECFLO LTD for the last 25years,but as i have told my family many times my time at Broadheath was and remains where i have spent the happiest time of what is becoming a long working life.i started their in August 62 leaving in December 69 . i remember your dad so well when i started he was on permanent nights but that changed and when he came onto days i got to work with him and as i said at one time him and i with our labourer  Henry ( a good freind of your dads) on nights ,we did,nt do much work and slept most of the nights woken by the production superintendant only when a machine had broken down ,i remember him buying his Morris Oxford green from i think White City Motors he let me drive him it to the canteen with the three of us what a treat for a young boy , i,m sorry i would have knpwn Trevor by sight only if he was an apprentice at the same time he must have been in the works he was not in maintenance i was the first maintenance apprentice electrician  what a privilage!, i have lots to say of my memories but hope most will keep for me to send them privately. Best wishes Geoff
