To whom it may concern,

Greetings from Blue Bulls country. To acquire the below much sought-after rugby memorabilia for display in my Rugby Museum, took me 40 years 1966-2006 and still ongoing appointments, attending of matches, correspondence, meetings, negotiations, personal visits and phone calls. Any questions please give me a call. .
What saddens me even more is that some of the kind gentleman who have donated some historical and personal rugby memorabilia to me for display in my Rugby Museum over the years are no longer with us. The theft of this rugby memorabilia left a huge gap in my Rugby Museum.
