Hes a bit like you Fuji, very little is known about him, except he keeps a low profile . His wife Marge has more friends than “Dewdrop”. Was the official Photographer of Fonda for years, Mercury paid him , via Parkinson of course (JBS ASSCOCIATES).
No, he’s never once been on S and F to my knowledge.

Found some old pictures of Pruett, Charlie Sheppard, Don Ross, Brian Hunt and me at Bristol . Year was !990. Was the year Salabert was killed at Bristol. Now realise Pruett and i were friends for over twenty years. Might explain my cock up in the years . Sorry about that folks, Gene is definitely right, i was out by a decade or more.

The guy who has more pictures than anyone else in the world is BRIAN DEWEY (DEWDROP) .
Apparently theyre all stored up in his attic .

You can run but you cant hide Gene . Im right behind you every step of the way . 79 and running, well done old chap !!! You got that bird soaring again yet?

Hey Gene, did you see Bernie Ecclestone just had another Nipper. He’s 89 too. Better tell Karen to keep her knicker elastic tight ?????

Life is like a box of Chocolates, you just never know. And then you turn around, you are 89 years old and get the surprise of your life!
Wonder if this qualifies as one of those “Aw Sheeeeeeet” moments ????
