Eric and Alf
I thought you would appreciate hearing that your magazine was the vehicle through which two men reconnected after almost sixty years. You may remember that the article on my father, Eric Harrison, (pages 74 and 75 in OBA 63) prompted Alf Cash to write to you from Western Australia, and you kindly forwarded his letter on, and I replied to it. Alf came on a trip to see relatives in Toowoomba, and also came to visit with my dad, this week. The memories flowed, and the stories arose and were enjoyed – they both relished reliving their time from so long ago – the bike meets, the bike club, the BP service station in Cabramatta and so on. Thank you for this opportunity – my dad still gets a thrill every time the new “Old Bike” arrives in the mail.
