There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head,
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How the hell can he drink when he's dead? .

RE: ROGER FREEMAN

A truly remarkable man and evocative speaker. I had the pleasure of taking a tour of WW2 bomber bases with Mr. Freeman as the tour guide. He shared his childhood experiences as a Base kid, hanging about the aircraft and meeting the airmen. He recalled crashes and significant events that brought life to this horrible history. Mr. Freeman's books were a thorough compendium and documentation of all related to this unparallelled slice of history. He will be missed, but his contribution, like those of his subject, will long endure.
