And Brian was the only person I can think of who would have fearlessly gone around the world in a year at age 17! With aplomb. His stories were so entertaining, and he was so into them, I can still see him pushing back his chair at the dining table and standing up, to better tell the story!<BR/><BR/>Ah yes, we should all have had four sons like your Mum - or daughters. Two or three, the way we do it nowadays, is not enough!<BR/><BR/>She loved her boys - I remember this.<BR/><BR/>Carol McFarlaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-58075524356764761632008-02-14T11:52:00.000+11:002008-02-14T11:52:00.000+11:00What an interesting story.
