And I notice in scanning Ian's index that Mulga Fred lies buried at Horsham
with no more than a name and a date. I remember watching him perform with
his whip in the main street of Hamilton when I was a child. My brother spent
the rest of his life trying to crack a whip like that!

Perhaps we should approach the City of Horsham with regard to putting a
little of his history on his gravestone?
Has it ever been considered?

I'm deliberately leaving the message below for our NORTHWEST-L Listers.
