All the best Bill and a speedy recovery. I have to agree with Angus Gillis, call me too if you have another Shoo Man......he was my first claim ($1000) as a young boy and gave me many great memories.

Jim mcManus and all Bills friends in Scotland wish him a speedy recovery,keep eating the shortbread. Mohawk is to quiet without you!!.

Hi Uncle Bill, Just got word of your operation and thankfully everything worked out all right. Unfortunately I didn't get in touch at the Jug but we may meet along the way. I can still taste Percilla's meat balls and remember Uncle Ray saying they were the most expensive meat balls I have ever had. All in good fun. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and if you ever have another Shoo Man or Repeat Performance give me a call. Take care.
