As kids we would get so excited when it came on the TV which is odd because I hadn't actually ever met him. Recently my Mum tracked him down after researching our family tree and we met for a big family reunion. He is old and grey now and not the suave sophisticated man I remember from the ads but very nice to meet him and find out about his luvie life : ) ric-rachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839983457740428820noreply@blogger.com
