Thank you to Danny Callaghan who saw this photo of ladies at the Navy Club, and told me about his mother and father who used to attend the club.

My Father

"My dad was a great dancer.  (What happened to me?)    My dad could dance anything, rumba, foxtrot, jive, you name it.

He had a string of regular partners for particular dances and carried on going till shortly before his death in 1992 aged 84.

My dad also loved to get up and give a song.  He would learn all the verses of the current ballads and give his all to a rapt audience.   (Another 'What happened to me?')

The picture at the top of this page is of my dad, taking the floor at the Navy Club in the late-1980s.
