He was of quite normal build so I asked where the nickname came from. Apparently when he was a (chubby) apprentice a mechanic called across the car "pass me that spanner would you Fats?". He shouted back "don't call me Fats" Pretty well nobody on the Team called him anything else after that, and his oldest friends still do 30 years later.............. --- On Thu, 15/1/09, Ted Grant <tedgrant@shaw.ca> wrote: > From: Ted Grant <tedgrant@shaw.ca> > Subject: RE: [Leica] IMG: The Zepplin is Coming! > To: "'Leica Users Group'" <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Thursday, 15 January, 2009, 2:07 AM > Richard said and asked plaintively: > > Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: The Zepplin is Coming! > > >>>Jerry, can you PLEASE use my proper name, > Richard, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE > > PLEASE.
