Bruce, his son was a good friend so I became aware of theatre and watched PT's progress with interest. A playwright, who had heard of such a thing? I am still haunted by the untimely passing of Bruce - he had left school and we had lost contact. I'd forgotten about the Lifeboat furore, which prompted the move away, so thanks for the very interesting article. <br />A friend had pointed me to the Tom Vernon film about Whitby on youtube. It reminded me of those simpler times and led me to this article. <br />TV correctly identified Whitby's future in tourism but warned: "How hard can you sell a dream and not destroy it?" Pretty hard it seems: most of the fishing boats and the deserted beaches have gone but Whitby still retains its charm.jackiewilsonsaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925799351367338892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605625879464789847.post-32736765240499504382021-04-26T11:24:53.675-07:002021-04-26T11:24:53.675-07:00I am so delighted to read this.

I am past working with people @72 but my reviewing work enables me to promote talent and be supportive. liammunster@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324508796471144506noreply@blogger.com
