John,
After many dialogues with you on the List and reading your book "In The
Shadow of my Father", I wouldn't have expected anything less from you for
this gentleman.
How good it is to hear of these human kindnesses and especially sweet to hear
of them connected to our LBC heritage!
I just accepted a job offer from a company which has a cluster of employees
based in London so, needless to say, I'll be bidding for an opportunity to
travel there asap - and of course plan a few side trips to my favorite
Triumph museums and archive hutches:)
Thanks again for sharing your story...
