Hello Ken, I was stunned when you said you were Charlie Page's son. I worked with your Dad at the old PDO in Luncies Road off Timberlog Lane. Indeed, when I first came to Basildon it was your Dad who gave me my first tuition on delivery. He was a lovely lovely man, everybody loved Charlie. I remember he had a motorbike and sidecar and used to supply us postmen with fresh bacon and eggs. He also regailed us with tales of when he was a sniper in WW2. He often spoke of joining you in Oz and its so sad that he made it only for a short time. I was quite stunned when your message came up and its lovely to hear from you. We must keep in touch as I can remember so many of the old lads I worked with in Basildon and Laindon. You wouldn't recognise the place now, so many changes. I emigrated to Cyprus in 2003 and am doing well so let me know your news. Once again, lovely to hear from you. Take care, God bless.
