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.
Regards
Ross
