Texas Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Interesting site retep, thanks. Some names remembered from the past, Alex Buxton, Wally Becket, Ron Hodgson, and Eric Ludlam. Mr Crookes didn't have a bad career did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gethro Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I worked with Ronnie, on and off, when i worked at KTG, on Scotland St, also with Paul and Steven. Steve moved on to other things, but Paul stayed at KTG, with me, until they went bust in 1993. From there, Paul and i worked for CBC on Solly St. I had to finish work in 2000 due to heart problems, but Paul stayed at CBC for a few more years, then moved on to other things, before moving out to Barbados. I am in regular contact with Paul and Gloria via E-Mail every couple of weeks or so. They are both keeping well and working and i"m sure they are loving every minute of it !!!. Oh!, and they have a dog called "Albert".!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
