Take your time reading his story, there’s a lot to absorb. It’s a great story that will have you on an emotional roller coaster.

Thank you Steve for sharing such an inspiring and adventurous life! I remember reading how much you were hoping for a modern steel GMT-2 Pepsi. Did you pick up one yet? It certainly appears dressy on the jubilee, but I think it retains an elegant toughness. I am looking forward to reading your book in the near future. Hope all is well. Cheers.

Tough story to read, very emotional.
I cannot imagine the mental strength needed to just keep on going like you. I'm sure Kathryn would be very proud!

I've not been reading the forum for a while so lovely to see this brilliant thread back - and learn rather belatedly that you have written a book which, based on the excerpts on Amazon, is clearly a very moving "must read". If I can find in a regular book store when I am back in the UK it will be purchased then - and if not, then on Amazon. All the best Steve - hope you are doing well now and that the writing was cathartic.

You read the first page of a 50-page thread and decided to make a negative comment? Well done.

Not a good look on his part. He needs to take the time and read through it.
