Over 60, with a son 32 and a daughter 22. Retired on 26 October, 2007, after 37 years with the company. No matter, I've led an interesting life with much travel in Southeast Asia, the Pacific Region, and a little bit of Africa.

Page 21 - October 9th



Wednesday Oct 9th broke cold & clear. Just the usual old routine all day. The 11th Bde paid us a visit during the evening. Played "The Lost Chord" for them.

"The Lost Chord" must have been one of Grandad's favourites at one time, as I can remember having the sheet music for it at home when I was a young'un.

Some sites with information about the song.
