John was very supportive of the MARTS club activities, he could often been seen in his Director’s Chair in a field, alongside a radio or two with friends and aerials.

He also had an astronomical telescope - was he looking for signs of Extraterrestrial life?

An interesting and interested man. Thanks for being my friend.
