Remember both of them, both hard cases (pun intended) Sam was in my class in Grey High.

I remember Jim real well could tell a good story, I use to play with his son Sam, I can recall the little shack called Buckingham Palace had windmills and other little knick knacks outside, and inside possum skins hanging up to dry, old Jimmy had a heart of gold.

Barbara Fitzsimmons
Peter Outram your right those possum skins nailed to a board .good money back then .He was a great uncle .loved his kids cheryl and sam .Toddlers.

Alan Quinn
