Hi all,
Well what a day yesterday. I work in IT and as such I have to go from
Cardiff (Wales) to London (England) evry so often to support the
users in the office there. Anywa I got the 7:55 am train from Cardiff
and I saw a chap on the platform that looked the very image of the
the great man himself. I was really shocked but didn't say anything.
All day I was thinking about this chap and which I had said
something. On the train back to Wales I was reading a book and happen
to glance up when a chap came down the corridor to go to he buffet
car. I looked up and again saw the same man going back to Wales too.
I waited and then decided I was going to talk to him so I should up
to got to the buffet car. There he was, collecting his tea so when he
moved pass me I spoke to him.
'Excuse me', I said,'are you Mr Jenkins?'
After being a little startled he said that he was. I asked if he was
related to Richard Burton. He said he was and his name was Graham.
Then we should and talked about his brother for about half an hour
until we got to Cardiff. Once there we said goodbye but he did ask me
to pass on his thanks to all at this group for taking the time to
remember his brother.
If only I had a camera but honsetly folks it was like looking at
Richard Burton himself, of course his brother doesn't sound the same
but golly. Well I thought I'd pass on this thanks and tell you all
about it.
keep the faith.
Rob
