This book is dedicated to the Friend Family and to the memory of Col and Alice Friend.

Memories:

Col was a special man and even to this day the boys both remember him for teaching them to shake hands with the standard "How do you do!".

I remember a time when Col was in hospital in Wagga for his 'angina' and he told me to stop crossing my legs or I would end up like him... mmm I do wish I had have listened to him that one, because my legs give me grief these days. Ah, those wise old timers that we never listen to when we are younger.
