  • He was my mothers brother (Delia Fisher) I was born in 1943 - but can't remember him - but my mother and Nana spoke of him often - I think Nana donated some of his personal things to either the Thames Library or the school. His nick name was Bricky - rest in peace Uncle Bricky. I believe you held me in your arms when I was a baby.
