Dear Johnnie, more meat, please. John left school at age 14 to work in his father's butchers shop. Late in his long life, he recorded some of his memories from when he was young. Of starting work and joining the family business he said :
"I remember wanting to go into the Omnibus business when I was a lad. No doubt if I had any brothers, no doubt I should have done, but being an only son I had to follow in my father's footsteps. By doing so I pleased him and enabled him to die happy. I am positive that I have gained by doing so."
March 3rd 1905 was a Friday.
