Hamilton 'Ham'/'Tim' E. Hervey (1895-1983)

At the time of writing the Editors acknowlege the need to find out a lot more about 'Ham/Tim' Hervey.

Conversations with Jack Hearn are planned for Jan., Feb., 2003 to amongst other things provide more details. In the meantime, to Ham's family and friends our apologies for this rather brief initial collection of information

For now, Martin Simons and Jim Fullarton remember 'Ham'...For Old Timer Sake
