| MY DEDICATION to Jock Jenkins |
| There are a handful of people you meet in your life who make a difference to everyone around them. Jock Jenkins is one of those special people. He is truly a caring man who I have had the pleasure to know since I was a 19 year old fireman under his supervision. He was my Sub Officer when I was a fireman in my home town of Andover, Hampshire, England. Many in Andover (population approx 40,000), and the surrounding villages have a lot to thank him for; some even for their very lives. He is that person who given any circumstance, resolves the problems and makes things work. He is a good human being and has been a member of my family since my brother Peter married his daughter Jean some thirty three years ago. He is truly a man who puts others first, evidence I’ve personally seen many times on the fire ground and beyond. I wish to dedicate my Photographic 'Action' section to this 'action man' - Jock Jenkins, now remarkably 87 years of age. NOTE: Matt is his first name but he has always been called by the nick name of 'Jock'. Jock is an English term of endearment for our Scottish neighbors. |
