There are three children in the family making Woody honourable son number two; well thats what the birth certificate says although we are still waiting for the adoption papers!His formative years were spent in Kent. John started school at theage of three, dancing his way through the evening to curb his excess energy. Today such a child would be classified as having ADHD. At the age of 11 gained a scholarship to stage school, serious training fuelled self-discipline respect for authority challenging Woody both mentally and physically.
A back injury curtailed his dancing career. Good luck bad luck who knows; however it certainly added something to sharpen Woody's irrepressible optimism.There were wilderness years, until he joined the police force,every day a new challenge for him. Woody 's eyesgradually adjusted to theidiosyncrasies of the society in which we live.His sense of humour developed as a palliative to some of the extreme situations which he had to deal with, not such a difficult task for a guy with a natural talent for making people laugh.
Mums plaintive suggestion that such humorous feast should be recorded were totally ignored but such an idea would come back to bite him.The chance was there to take asabbatical year to travel the world.The journey would start in South East Asia and turn left into Oz, right to N.Z. and then full circle through South America, USA and Canada. You are invited to share the experience - join him in South East Asia.view less
