Brian English

I have known Brian English for a very long time and agree that he got the rough end of the pineapple. He is a man of intregity and honest as the day is long. He stood his ground and faced the judgement. He has not lost face in my eyes but become a greater man for his actions. I just wish that there were more men in this world with his grit. M.Hughston.
