Self-description (date unknown): I am five foot eleven tall, 32 inch waist and wear a size 40 jacket; and I prefer an easy rough tweed with leather buttons and grey flannel slacks. I am lean of face and body weighing about 150 lbs. I am crowed with a mane of crisp whitish hair that has to be frequently brushed to make it lie down when it insists on kinking into troublesome waves. There is a narrow black skunk streak directly in the centre of my "widow’s peak” which is evidence of my black-haired youth. My eyebrows are so bush that I have to keep them clipped or they laugh in the horn rims of my glasses. My eyes are Irish blue; indeed my ancestors came from the north of Ireland. They say my face resembles that of the late King George. I can’t verify that of course but perhaps you get a rough idea of what I look like now.
