I'm Peter, Len's son-in-law. Len always used to say that he believed he had had the best years of the 20th century. He pointed out that though he lived through the war, he was too young to have been conscripted. He was subsequently able, when starting his working life, to enjoy the economic prosperity which followed the war and endured into the 1950s. His was the first generation to have the benefit of the National Health Service, and, later, experience the relaxation of social constraints in the 1960s. As a young man, engaged with first jazz and then rock and roll as both musical genres were imported from America. He very much enjoyed both of them. He was always very appreciative indeed of what life had given him.
