Hopefully I can let sleeping dogs lie, or at least get this off my chest.
Since letting on about my small, distant, connection ... I have had this uneasy gnawing in the back of my mind that folks somehow hold a grudge toward me by association. That they don't believe I am a fan, because I am good friends with the woman that married Ian after Sue. Lots of hardcore Halford fans may see this as an afront, maybe not. Some may know more than I do about the years I missed while my friend lived in England. She had her own group of friends. I only heard from her on holidays, etc. So I am serious when I say, I don't know anything and am really another fan like the rest of you. She is still very guarded about those years, refuses to talk to anyone, more out of concern for her daughter's privacy than anything.
So I hope we all can start fresh with that understanding. I am here to contribute my small bit of politeness, pride, and protection. And in return try to learn from you all, fill in the gaps that the years that passed have left gaping.
