I am Howard (Danny) Race, and Albert Inman was my father. I am now 77 years old.
My father did write many things throught his life, and submitted a lot to the papers and the "Glossies". These writings were rewarded by £5 a time by the news editors.
He was an ARP Warden during the war, and worked with "Heavy Rescue" teams.
He worked his way up from Labourer to Surveyor in the old SCCE.
A quiet and gentle man, he instilled in me a love of English from a very early age.
Despite his gentle nature, I understand that he used to participate in "bare knuckle" fights when the local fairgrounds came around, and used arrive home batterd and bruised but with a five pound note in his hand. More food on the table for the kids .
It is nice to hear that people remember him .... He was a major influence on my life, and I still miss him.
