A time that might just have impacted some history.<br /><br />The scenes depicted remind me of scenes from the George Gently detective tv shows with Martin Shaw. This would have been about the time I first moved to New York.<br /><br />Sometimes seems like yesterday, but truly was quite a few yesterdays ago.<br /><br />Best wishes.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-5353465804848923592016-07-04T15:15:24.420-07:002016-07-04T15:15:24.420-07:00No, the late Sir James Goldsmith.
