[Danny Mitchell]

Thank you, Roy. I'm looking forward to this edition, I think I recognise the cover boy!

[Willie Gamble]

Hi Roy, jeez it must have been a slow news day when you had to resort to putting that ugly mug shot on the front cover.
Can't wait to see what he has to say for himself, seriously though Malcolm and I have been best friends since the beginning of our steel journey way back in the late seventies.
Great stuff
Asleep at the steel

[Danny Mitchell]

Willie, we need you on there, too. Sharing some of those stories from the 70s.
Actually, Roy, perhaps this could be a new newsletter section, like you used to get in the Reader's Digest. Sort of, "Steel Tales From The Road"; anecdotes, kind of thing. These do crop up, sporadically, in the 'Cafe' and are always good to read. Lord knows, we could all use a bit of a laugh these days.

[Uncle Roy]

Danny you are so right, I have constantly asked guys to give me feed back and any steel info or stories, but sadly It falls on deaf ears. Sometimes I wonder if they think that I have a crystal ball and know all these things but after all these years of running the newsletter it gets harder every issue to find interesting items, and if it wasn't for the few guys that have supplied and helped me over the years I don't think there would be a newsletter now. But hey ho.

[Malcolm]

Mr Gamble, I am setting up a table outside the CO-OP tomorrow signing Autographs, 50p a time, should have enough money for a new MSA Legend, ( and maybe a Maverick for you Mr Gamble, I know you need the upgrade)

[Danny Mitchell]

Another excellent addition gratefully received, thank you Roy.
Tickled to see SSGW mentioned in your UK albums list, cheque's in the post, no really, cheque's in the post, my subs are due

Thanks Roy for another enjoyable read and many thanks to all who make this site run so well.
