0 he Hawk sends his best wishes to driver Donald Terry, who has just retired after 4-5 years of driving for Humberside haulier HL Thirsk.
Donald (generally known as Dappy) started with the firm in 1949 and has driven an estimated two and a quarter million miles delivering to markets, arriving on time, even in those bracing winter breezes so often enjoyed in the Pennines.
In Donald's local newspaper, the charmingly named Pocldington Post, HL Thirsk director Noel Moor pays tribute to his long serving employee: "He was taken on as driver but has always been known as a very keen footballer, playing for Pocklington Town as goalie and manager. And he tackled his driving job from the start with the same enthusiasm."
He even found time to play football in the concrete areas by the Glasgow market where he used to deliver. Sounds like a safe pair of hands all round. I'm sure CM readers join me in wishing Donald a long and dappy retirement.
