Talking of our misspent youth, I attach, for your delectation, a section
of an old photograph taken in ~1965.
I am top row middle. The guy to my right, grinning like a maniac, has
just made a ridiculously silly comment and I'm desperately trying not to
laugh. The guy to my left is my youngest brother, George. Next row down,
furthest right in the image, is C C Wright who is brother to the guy
furthest left on the bottom row. He is M T Wright, later to become
famous for his reconstruction of the Antikythera mechanism.
