My grandad on my father's side died young from a dodgy ticker and I missed him by sixteen years...Dad kept his books, now I have them. He loved Davies and Thomas, it seems. I wish we'd met..in a way I know him through his books. From what I've learnt from my much loved 'Auntie Joan' - in reality my second cousin and the last extant mutual relative, he was a very nice quiet man. Am increasingly of the opinion one of my twin daughters is very much a chip off the same block. Genes, eh? Know people through their record collections, know them through their libraries..she'll be getting mine, including those Davies and Thomases. On it goes..
