2015-2020 CommentsDuring the last five years I have created a WordPress web site in French & English concerned with the Twinning of a French village with an English village in Wiltshire.

I watched them all and will do so again, probably many times. Fred would have loved the ones showing the military bands, he was very much into anything concerning precision marching, as you would probably expect him to be given his family history. I must admit the Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and the Chelsea Pensioners renditions brought tears to my eyes, they all bring back so many memories. Jean Sheppard - Fred’s wife & mother to their four children. I wanted to say a very big thank you for the final version of the video you have so kindly assembled on Dad’s life. It is an excellent rendition of the life of a wonderful man and shows him in all his walks of life and roles that he was especially happy in. The effort you have clearly gone to is remarkable and we have been left with a wonderful memory that I am sure we will use at his "celebration of life", whenever we are able to hold that. I have to admit to feelings of great pride and admiration as well as sadness, particularly towards the end when you have used his speeches to the Twinning Associations. It brings him to life for me and I can hear him as if it was yesterday. Seeing him in movie as opposed to still form is also quite breath-taking. It is lovely that we, and especially mum, will be able to actually see dad in action and hear him speak. The music that you put with the video was very well matched and thought out. What a gift you have. We all laugh about my having 'OCD' (obsessive compulsive disorder!) and my need to have everything organised and this has met my father's time line to a tea! Anne - daughter Thank you so very much for all your time and dedication that you have put into making this truly wonderful time line video of my Dad. Diane - daughter You have obviously gone to a great deal of effort in both researching our father's life, collecting photographs, setting to music, and providing graphics to produce such a well founded chronological record of the major points of his life.
