Came across this video this morning and I thought some of you might like to see it.

A brief moment in time that could have been easily missed, good that someone had the sense to record it.

Thievin Heathen, Thank you for that. Given his age and his frailty and not knowing when it was recorded i had a feeling he may no longer be with us.
Both my wife an I were impressed with him in the video, so it was nice to have his life filled in a bit more.
That despite a bad start in life, through no fault of his own, he turned it around and made the most of it was good to hear, though maybe not too surprising ,he seemed to have a determined nature.
Thanks again.
