๐Ÿ’กMy memories of Raymond Daniels.ย 

I remember meeting Raymond many times when I was younger. I believe he stayed with us on a few occasions when I lived in Fareham, Hampshire, England.

When Raymond was getting married, my father and I were staying with his brother, Ivor, and his wife, Marge, in Portland for the wedding. I remember that on the morning of the wedding, there were lots of people all over the house. There was a wedding car parked outside, ready to go to the Church, and Raymond came in looking a bit flushed.

He asked Ivor if he could speak to him privately, and everyone left so they could talk. All that is, except for my dad and me. Ivor told his brother that we should stay and listen to what he had to say. Raymond then confessed that he couldn't get married as he was still married to someone else. He had married years before and had not gotten divorced. As you can imagine, there was an uproar when the family discovered the news. The poor lady he was supposed to marry in the next hour lived opposite Nunk and Marge. The wedding was swiftly called off. I can't remember what happened next, but I will never forget Raymond for this reason.
