On this day in 1918
Gentlemen, on this day in 1918 a young man was born, his name, Richard Walker.
I think a toast is called for this evening gentlemen.
Here are two lovely pictures of the man himself in his later years, courtesy of Mike Wilson, thank you Mike.

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish
