Title: Ken Burge?

Via email to Mayhem...

I am trying to contact a very old work mate. His name is Ken Burge and I visited his house many years back to have a look at a tug boat he had just finished.  He was a bit of an engineer,  making motors and such.  There is mention of a Ken Burge of Melbourne Australia in your web site.  I believe it would be the same one. Would you or any of your fellow builder have an email contact for him. I wish just to send him a note saying "Now that I am 65,  do you think it is time to shave this beard off"  An in joke that only he would understand. He was my first boss when I started work at 18.  I grew a beard while I was on leave and shaved it off after I returned to work.  I must have been pretty ugly because he took up a partition for me to grow it back and it was an over whelming yes vote.  After 47 years the beard is still there.
