The world would be a sadder place without them and I’m sure Brick Lane will miss Clive but remember him with fondness.

(Now I’m starting to talk like Valerie.) What a sharp, funny, interesting lady!
Would love to hear some of her interview tapes, but nothing’s on YouTube.
Thanks to Clive for capturing her, and to you for trumpeting him.

It scared some people although he was a very kind and gentle soul . I never met him as he died during the war before I was born. Things dont always have to match. So long Clive .

Love & Peace
