I was born in Portsmouth, Royal Naval & Marine Maternity Hospital 1st October 1938. We moved to Hayes, Middlesex in 1940 and then to Bletchley Park, where my father worked during WWII in 1940 through until 1950 with my twin sisters Jean and Faye and older brother Bobby, then we moved to the Plough Inn at Simpson, Near Bletchley. In 1950 I attended the Royal Hospital School; Holbrook which before it moved there in 1932 it was the Royal Palace at Greenwich donated by the then King William and Queen Mary to be converted into an Institution for Relief and Support of Seamen. I left in 1955 and joined the Royal Navy until 1960, as a Voice Radio & RADAR Operator Served on various ships and shore stations in England, Mediterranean and the Far East as RADAR Operator & Plotter, communications ship/aircraft and on Coast Watching Duties in the Far East. In 1959 on July the 25th, I married Doreen Sarah Charnock and lived in Leighton Buzzard until 1983. In 1980 our son Edward Keith was killed on his Motor Cycle and we moved to our house in New Port Richey, Florida in 1983 to get away from all the memories and spent 3 years there, returning to the UK in 1986. As I could not get work, we turned our hands to all sorts of work, Cleaning, selling Computers, House Painting, Gardening anything to earn a living. I retired 3 years ago and needed something to occupy myself with as due to my wife being virtually house bound I really could not leave her by herself and became a House Husband and during my spare time------writing. My beautiful wife Doreen Sarah died November 27th 2012. I know this is a bit long but I have been around for a LONG time 76 years.
