Minster meeting

We had gone to York to visit our son for Christmas and decided to go to the Nine Lessons and Carols Service at York Minster on Christmas Eve. You have to get there early because is gets filled up very quickly. I began to have a conversation with the man who I ended up sitting next to who I had never met before. He began to tell me that he and his wife were also visiting their children for Christmas and had so enjoyed it two years previously that he wanted to be there again. We chatted further and I found out that he was retired and had worked for the ICI paint division in Worcester. I new someone who had also worked for the same company and in the same division. I asked him if he knew a Frank Rumball to which he replied "You don't know him do you?" They had worked together in the past and was so surprised of the connection.
