Ray — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 05:45:26 +0000

http://bit.ly/VIPReaderPrograms All ACCESS VIP Book Club Programs Before the Last All Clear never started out being written as a book in the traditional sense of things. Ray Evans hadn’t written anything even remotely approaching ‘creative’ since he left school at the tender age of 14. However, his family recognized that he was [...]

“Liverpudlians” are known for their quick wit. Many say the humor comes from the severe hardships endured by the primarily working class people of Liverpool through the decades. In fact in Liverpool they will tell you that having a strong and well honed sense of humor is the only way to survive in that [...]

The King’s Speech & Our George’s too…

Ray — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 22:21:40 +0000

I saw the movie The King’s Speech last night and found it enjoyable and very interesting. As I sat there watching the film, I couldn’t help thinking about my late brother George, how he suffered with his dreadful stammer and how he went through life always struggling for words, he died in 1980, he was [...]

[singlepic id=11 w=320 h=240 float=left] We’re off to England in a few weeks to attend our Grandson’s wedding; something we’ve been looking forward to all year. The only snag is – I’m not and never have been overly keen on flying. Mind you, I’m not nearly as bad as I used to be, say, ten [...]

April 30th – Anniversary of Hitler’s Death.

Ray — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:21:44 +0000

Today, 30th April, 2009, is the 64th anniversary of Adolph Hitler’s cowardly suicide. It was a Monday, so I would have been at school in Llanelli, South Wales, completely unaware of the impact that man’s actions would once again have on me personally. News didn’t travel or get reported near as fast in those days, [...]

So my daughter’s been working on developing this new website and she tells me now we’re going to put a “blog” on there. Well of course I’m sitting here asking her what the heck is a “blog” when it’s at home and what has it got to do with me? She explained that it’s a [...]
