Once again thank you all

Hi Lisa,
You won't know me but many years ago we all used to race together up at "Darley" and on the "Prom" and Oulton .My name is Bill Thornton and I used to "chair" for Des Founds .Ive only just found out about Frank from my friend Gordon Barnard ,in AUS., who also knew Frank and raced on the sand and a 125 Gilera. Sue may just remember Me and My brother John, who was a mate of Frank's .Give her my condolences and tell her Frank will be remembered by me-- charging around Darley on a Blue 650 SS thrashing more powerful bikes with bravery and skill.

Bill Thornton.
