WE'LL
MEET AGAIN....
Date.. 26/4/05..
Well this
old boy made it to the
age of 65 and has now
retired.
I met up with a couple of
my old school pals from
1945 through Friends
Reunited and went back to
our old schools, houses,
(and a few pubs) of our
youth.
Last year I had major
surgery for colon cancer
and dropped to nine
stone.
I am now cancer free back
up to Twelve and a half
stone and as fit as a
butchers dog.
This old boy has got
another twenty years left
in him and will phone
agents to get the odd day
back in the biz. (I know
how to find a lens)
If
you've any questions to
ask please visit my
message boards or email
me.
Thanks for reading the
web site and enjoy your
life as much as I
have.

Update
to 2009....
It's
now 2009 and this old boy
is feeling pretty fit..
I
am still cancer free and
I found out that my
mother died from colon
cancer back in 1963 so I
guess I was lucky to beat
my cancer. Life is very
good at the moment and
it's a joy living in the
English countryside and
going for walks everyday
when the weather's fine.
I try to walk about five
miles a day and am
looking forward to the
Spring. I got invited to
EMI Studios last year and
met up with my old boss
Darth Vader (Dave Prowse)
who I first met on the
first Star Wars back in
1976 at the same
studios.....

I
have made friends with
many people from all over
the world via the Web and
many have said they liked
my tales of the 32 years
I spent in films and TV.
At Xmas I went to
my daughter Connie's
house for dinner but the
day before I went to
church to hear my
grandson (Jamie) play
bass in the church
band... (he's getting
good). I've got three
kids and five
grandkids...(Bless them
all)

Emma and Jamie
Here's
Aitch in 1941 sitting
outside my house I was
born in looking up at
them Fokkers in the
sky
Meanwhile
nearly 70 years
later.....
On
my 69th birthday I
arranged to meet some of
my school mates that I
grew up with in the
40s/50s and go back to
Islington to where we
played as kids.
We went to look at our
old schools...GONE....
We looked around the
famous Chapel
Market....Nearly GONE...
The North Pole pub that I
played my first gig in
all those years ago is
now a "POSH"
Diner..
We went to the house I
was born in and had the
cheek to knock on the
door. The new you owner
made me welcome and I
told him how the house
was, with Mum, Dad and
six kids living in four
rooms with a WC out in
the garden and a tin bath
in the kitchen.
Two sisters slept in one
bed and four brothers
slept top and tail in the
bigger bed...
Only trouble was the four
boys used to
"pee" the bed.
On my birthday for a
treat Dad would ask
"What end would you
like to sleep tonight
son?" I said
"The shallow end
please
Dad".....(joke)
If we'd of had any money
all those years ago we
could have bought the
house for £500....
It's now worth
£500,000...(missed the
boat there!)
After
walking round for a few
hours we stopped for a
couple of pints (or
three)
Best part of the
day!....

Brian, Aitch, Freddie and
Barry
This
time next year.....Del

On
the 16th. of September
2009 I received an email
from a lady in the USA
asking about the Fielder
family. It seems she is
the grandaughter of my
father's sister and had
found a box of photos
dating back to the
1914-18 war. They were
all born in the UK at the
turn of the century and
my father's sister May
went to live in the
States in the 1920s. She
then sent me this photo
of my father William b.
1900 d. 1950 and, of
course, I had never seen
it. I was only ten when
he died so it's hard to
remember him. His photo
now stands in a frame in
our front room.
Thank you, cousin April,
for this....I think he
was still a teenager in
this photo...

the Darth Vader rig!...)
