With the very last Breda con happening this weekend, here's a clip from 1986 of the great Sir Don Lawrence and an 18 year old me (sounding rather like David Bowie, oddly!) at the show.
This touches me hugely to re-watch. Massive nostalgia pangs! I miss Don a great deal. He wasn't just my mentor, he became a much loved friend.
Note - the sound does kick in after a short while, so bear with it!
And here’s a photo of me at Don’s panel in Breda a year earlier, in 1985, a staggering 40 years ago! This was the first convention I ever attended. It’s amazing to be going back to the show as their guest of honour so very many years later.
The young wee lad.
