Good memory, snugs! I thought the name was familiar but didn't remember who it was till you posted the older photos. Looks like Sgt. McNaughton made a true friend in Bush, more than a casual acquaintance (as in, they stay in touch).

I do not know why but for some reason I recognised both the name and the man from the photos. I think because I remember seeing the pictures of him running with W on FNC.

Plus of course we have shown the photos quite a few times on the dose when people have posted favourites.

The other photos on that day bought a bit of a lump to my throat as they were of Ariel Sharon, rather poignant seeing as today he is having yet another operation this time I believe to repair damage to his skull.
