Hi Aunty Jack, great photos, a real history there. Making a list of the properties worked on, maybe the boys can help with that also. Thanks to Paul & Bruce for the photos.

Hi Aunty Jack, Have been wondering about the final resting place of the Big Ball, would be interesting to find this out...wonder if anyone has any ideas. Photo shows Ron contemplating future of the ball in one of these photos, but I cannot remember???
