Note

From email 30 May 2014
"I can remember the morning as if it was yesterday Neil .I had done my morning paper-round then having my Shreaded-Wheat sat listening to the 8-o-clock news at No 33 before walking up the park to school with my soccer-boots slung round my neck. It was the talk of the day.--everyone knew it was coming----but where !!!"

Note

6 Oct 2024 visited the Slater family grave in Elland (Neil and Anne Slater). Found the top of the old teak cross (hand made by Geoff for the burial of his mother) and placed it back in the ground at the grave. Scattered some of Geoff's ashes on the grave. This is the same grave of his father, mother and brother Stanley
