The Exbury Junkers: A World War II Mystery - Part X
By: John Stanley
On the downside, probably my biggest disappointment was in tracing the sister of the Junkers pilot, only to find out that she did not wish to have any contact with me. I also suffered a number of setbacks with my computer - they're very good when they're working aren't they. On a couple of occasions I suffered a major loss of data. I've certainly learned the hard way of the need to keep copies of my work.
To end on a lighter note my wife, Julie, says that at last she is pleased not to have to look at my back all the time, hunched over the computer. I think I will take that as a compliment. I would seriously like to thank Julie and the children for tolerating what quickly turned into an obsession for me and seemed to last forever. I am well aware that there is a lot of decorating to do now. I have promised not to embark on another book for a very long time, well for a little while anyway.
So, there we are. It just remains for me to thank you all for your attention, and to thank you once more for your support. You have helped me in so many different ways, that it just wasn't possible to mention you all individually today - I do hope you understand that. But I am grateful to each and everyone of you. I hope that you have found the talk interesting and that it has helped you work up an appetite both for the book which will be on sale, and also for lunch, as I do believe that it is now time for us to eat. So, without more ado, thank you again for listening, and I look forward to catching up with you during and after lunch. Thank you very much.
