Character Biographies

This work is a series of flashbacks to a different time and generation - but the same place. As such it is both poignant (because of the passing of much loved heroes of the past) and happy, because their performances as sports stars and role models were so genuine that we enjoy being reminded of the scenarios more than a half century ago.

- The Rt. Honourable Edward Shreyer
