In the summer of 2006 Anita and I (Ray) and Dave and Liesa were invited down to John's and Dees home for a BBQ together with Mick and Karen Green, Mike and Pen Roberts and roadie Gordon. We went down in my 1950 Chrysler and had a fantastic day in excellent company.   John produced bag loads of memorabilia, far too much show on this site but he entrusted me with these photos from his collection so I could scan and present them here for your enjoyment . . . John turned out to be a pretty mean cook too.
