  1. Clive Harry says:

    Amazing – I got one straight away!
    60’s is Freddie Goodwin.

  2. The other Bob Wilson says:

    Freddie Goodwin is correct Clive.

  3. Dai Woosnam says:

    Yes, I got Freddie too.
    Perhaps because he was in my mind with him having died just over a fortnight ago.
    He was living in Washington State, just south of Seattle.
    Turns out I was about 5 miles from his home, when driving in the USA three years ago.
