I was lucky enough to get a letter from him sometime in the mid 1970s when I sent him a cartoon drawing of a dog. Gone to the great 'Gallery' in the sky. :( |

I sat glued to Vision On and Take Hart as a child..and I loved sitting there with my own children, seeing them enjoy his gentle teaching and skills. Lovely man! He gave much joy to many people. A good life, well shared and well lived. God Bless You, Tony. :0) x |

And he whisked off a drawing of a dancing pig (Swindon Morris's emblem)straight away. A real gentleman. One of the old school, the likes of we'll not see again. Julian |
