  • Notes 
    • John Edward Gregory died d.s.p.. During the last meeting that I had with Roy Lumb before his death in 1997, Roy let me read the diary that John Edward had kept. He, John Edward, had quite a fantastic life and a loving and wonderful wife. Unfortunately, John Edward was prone to long bouts of depression and eventually hung himself from a tree in the outback of Australia. Apparently a brush fire had ripped through the area sometime after his death as when his body was discovered it was charred beyond recognition. Only a few of his personal belongings had survived such as a watch and ring by which his widow was able to identify the remains. The diary of John Edward was given to Roy Lumb through his mother. Had I known, at the time that that was the last time I was to see Roy Lumb I would have taken the time to transcribe or copy the diary. At this point, if the diary still exists it would be with either Sheila, Roy's widow, or with one of Roy's children.
