Welcome to this scrap of cyberspace dedicated to my late Father, also now my Mother

                                   Her Eulogy  

 

Now, Dad never really got to grips with these computer things. He was, however, rather proud that he once managed to persuade an ancient BBC micro to display a 'lawnmower' crossing the screen of my equally ancient portable TV. He did try to write his memoirs on a reluctant 386 donated by his other son, Trevor. Unfortunately he usually remembered to save his work shortly after he had switched it off at the wall.

A couple of his grandsons between them keyed in some of it for him and gave him a copy, again he didn't retain the soft copy, so when it came to putting this site together we could find only a single hard copy. that and many notebooks filled with his (almost) illegible scrawl.

Thus far through the wonder of the scanner and OCR a tolerable soft copy of the typed stuff has been retrieved. Given time and more dedication than I can currently muster, I'll have a go at the rest of it.
