I used to hang around Henley on Thames in 1970 thru 1972 long before I moved to the USA in 1980. Frank was among those people at gatherings, and I was reminded of him just this weekend, listening to some music of that time. So I started searching what I knew of his dad to see if I could find him, and found your piece about his dad, and that Frank had given you permission and some photos. Any chance you can share any contact information you have for him, or perhaps a social media site? Kind regards, Tess
My parents always bought the Daily Mirror , and , as a child , 8 when the war ended , I always read Cassandras articles ..I derived a lot of pleasure from them , and he probably helped to form my views ..I remember him as being very liberal. Such an impression he made, that I have remembered him till this day, and on searching, was very pleased to find this article about him. If only we had journalists of such quality today!
I want to locate a column Cass wrote c1958 in the MIrror. The opening lines describe an English Garden. It starts with names of several flowering herbaceous plants. I was ill at the time in hospital feeling very sorry for myself, and this article cheered me up no end. I would love to see it again. I have a copy of "Cassandra at his Finest and Funniest" but its not included. Can anyone help please?
