Richard Sachs and Brian Baylis may not share the same birthday but I do with Jim Harrison a builder from Manchester, England. We were both born on July 7. Jim's year of birth was 1914 while mine was 1947 (7-7-47 my lucky day). Interestingly my older brother also was born on the same day. Jim died in 1994

Johnny Berry of Manchester was born in 1908. He died in December of 1974. I remember that date well because I had written him earlier in an attempt to convince him to let me learn framebuilding from him. His wife wrote me right after his death saying she was sorry to inform me....
