At the end of his presentation my pal Derek said , “Come on Will, let’s go and meet him.” Now I ‘m not one for being slow coming forward but I did take a deep breath…and followed! He was an absolute gent gracious, polite and showed true gratitue we had taken the trouble to find him to say how much we enjoyed his presenation.

5 He told us he had been presenting for 26 years and made about 2500 speeches. He seems as sad as me at keeping statistics.
