  Farewell Reg Turnill, who fixed the Sandgate Clock
  whatever made the space-age tick, Reg made it talk
  at formally acknowledging Von Braun Reg for years did balk
  when Armstrong landed on the Moon, Reg did squawk that walk

  The two obits offer different things, both worth a look.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Dover has had some very good MPs from the 1940s when I came about,and from both partys,my family now own and live in the family home of the blues MP in Dover for 14years in the late 1950s and 1960s their home was in Northhamtonshire now in the hands of the Matcham family,all 8000ac,of it. Great place to go round and view the house.
