Daily Doodle - November 17, 2011
I still wonder what kind of little boy he was, rough and tumble, or quite and shy. He looks like he was a little monkey, but was he?

Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future was also a radio program. I can picture my dad curled up next to the radio, listening to the latest installment. Did he imagine himself zipping across the galaxy in a rocket ship to do battle with the Mekon (big green headed alien)?

Daily Doodle - November 6, 2011
Last month, my cousin sent me some photos of my dad as a little boy. Up until then, I'd never seen any photos of him as a youngster. It got me wondering what he was like when he was little. Was he a bruiser? Was he shy and sensitive? What did he like to do? I've read stories about little boys playing on bomb sites. Did he do that? Lots of questions, no answers. So in order to try and understand him a little better, I've started to read about life in 1950s England, the period in which he grew up.
