Grant or Graham ?

Post by John Upham » Wed Nov 04, 2020 7:40 pm

Another thing I do not know (this list is greater than the list of things I do know) is :

I have heard suggestions / rumours that Bob Wade's middle name was, in fact, Grant rather than Graham.

Also, there are apocryphal tales that RGW did not enjoy Graham and changed it to Grant.

Sleuths out there might enjoy this challenge.

I think this was discussed around the time of his passing, with IIRC most thinking it was actually the latter.
