It is good to be able to give all the names a character and the newspapers are great for that. I’m glad you got to meet Thomas, hopefully I can expand his character further.

How superb that you got such a descriptive piece on Thomas Gamble with its subtle honesty. He is is a clear character. Thanks for sharing as I feel like I’ve got to meet him too.

Thanks for the tip about the Colac papers, I have a lot of family from that area too.
