Re: LEWIN OF GREENWICH, THE BOOK SERIALISED FOR FORUM MEMBERS
Thank you so much Terry, that was well worth the read and gave a further inside to your enviable father and his character , again I say that I wish I had met him in person as having read these accounts of him, and knowing his son as we do, it seems to be a family trait and a rare privilege to be amongst such warm and endearing people .
Warm regards to you Tim ....Ivor and Karen .

Sterling values have the tendency of fluctuation my dearest friend , whilst loyalty and respect stand the test of time I find .

Thanks All, its good to know there are those who remember him, other than me. My sister just asked for fresh copies of pictures so I will do this for the family and add them here, he will forever be remembered for his last actions in the RN but its useful to remember that senior Navy blokes are not born, they are made over a long and fairly aggressive process. Like all of us, TTL had to complete a very long apprenticeship before be reached the perhaps unenviable top of the very greasy pole.
Here are a few pics from the days when you were glad to be alive tomorrow, never mind about if you might get another ring in 5 years time!
