Would that be the same Robert Ballagh who is a defender and fan of one Charles J. Haughey? That will have the poor Captain spinning in his grave.

Delighted to see Misfit back in print after all these years (75). My brother Alan and I are the two remaining sons of Capt J R White. Would you please send me a copy with invoice which I will pay by return.
