That Photo - Taken on board M.V.Crestbank 1981

This from Brother Henry",
At this time the demands of his job required my brother to be away from home, family and friends for incredibly long periods. Everyone who knew him was the recipient of postcards, letters and gifts from all parts of the globe. Richard sent or rather 'issued' a copy of this photo to every member of our family as well as several friends and it was to be found upon a thousand mantelpieces the length and breadth of the country and I dare say the World.

Visitors would see it and say "Oh you have a copy of the photo - so have I". It was a short step from there to referring to it as THE photo and finally THE PHOTO.

I actually have in my possession the jersey my brother is wearing in THE PHOTO which I guard as jealously as I would a nail from the one true cross. It has I am certain miraculous healing powers.
