Hi Ron,
I have read your Personal Space on h2g2, and I'm having real problems getting a message to you, to thank you for all your work.
My father is a Normandy Veteran, he was with Lancashire Fusilliers.
He wrote the History of the Normandy Veterans for h2g2 (I typed it out and did the code)
He's 87 now, him and my mother (who helped me write "World War II Rationing in Britain") have been married 64 years this year.
Kind regards,
Ann Croft aka Galaxy Babe, daughter of Frank Wolstencroft.

Hi Ann
I've just returned home after a morning of visiting family and my computer sang out 'You've got mail!'
Nita said, who's it from ? and I smugly replied 'Galaxy Babe'
Many thanks for your kind words... I am just a novice with 56 years of married bliss behind me (compared with your parents 64) but I do appreciate the help you must have been in posting your Dad's stories, I will make a point of looking out for it on h2g2.
We will talk some more another time
Kind regards to all
Ron

How tardy of me not to provide links!
A533918 World War Two Rationing in Britain
and
A3372888 The History of the Normandy Veterans Association
I taught my Dad to use the computer as well
even though I only started learning how to use a computer in 1999, self-taught I bought my first computer and jumped in feet first.
How I envy the youngsters of today who are being brought up alongside this technology!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
