Mickey - tell me more! He's the CO I would have had if I'd stuck around in the UK longer. What did I miss?

There is a story about the might Keith Gaydon somewhere on here.
Has s rep for being insensitive. Makes jokes that are not funny and then laughs. At one of his schools he acquired the nickname "Turkey Neck"
He married a much much younger woman. Kept him smiling.......
He also had an odd way to claim for expenses for each circuit visit.
Any news on Errol Flynn? -

Ah, Armageddon Ernie. Drove a wonderful old car with a pre-selector gearbox. I was very impressed back then! (Early '50s)
He was famous for saying "Armageddon is just round the corner." One fellow living on the end of a street, looked out of the door to see!

Bev Gibbons = boring old fart, leaned on the lectern like he was time trialing, settled in York I believe.
Jim Cleary? = arsehole, couldn't just stand behind the lectern, oh no, had to be at the side of it.
Justin Shaw = what a Legend, all CO's should be like him, actually felt like he had time for you.
Albert Storer = Think he is a DO, found him to be a very nice genuine guy. excellent speaker.
Keith Gaydon = Strange man, old school.
Michael Purbrick = Many were glad to see the back of him, but I liked him! last talk I heard him give he mentioned he was in a second hand bookshop and he came across a book by a former Governing Body member, he said: "perhaps you know the one i mean", and he was nearly going to open it, but he didn't let curiosity get the better of him. I bet he had a peek! I believe he is currently instructing at the Elders school.
George Hilton = Funny man. Very likeable.
Brent Smith = Awesome speaker. not heard many like him. I dont think he has very good health these days.
there is more but I cant remember.
All Time Fave: Paul Whiteman = From Jersey I believe originally. Only CO I have 'clicked' with, great sense of humour. Really lovely wife Collette. The only CO's wife who I remember. They made a lovely couple.

St George of England
Anyone know of Philip Rose and his wife Lorraine? From the Isle of Wight apparently.
I haven't met him yet but he is to replace David Rastell.
