Post by: Humps00 on June 19, 2007, 01:19 PM: Did I mention I have a personal copy signed by the great man himself and inscribed "To the Humphrey family" which he sent me from the States a few years ago. Inspirational book and a great read - I'm not one for reading books but found time for this one. Have a spare copy knocking around somewhere too so maybe should shove it on the Bay sometime. Humps
