Sir John Burn's father Harry was my father's partner in the coach building building business between 1947 and 1964. The company built soft serve ice cream vans amongst other things. They also had a substantial vehicle repair business. The company was Burn and Slack Ltd. of St. Helens Auckland, County Durham. Outside of business our families were quite friendly. For many years, our parents and a couple of other families all went on holiday together. Congratulations to Sir John. He has worked hard and done well. Bryan M. Slack.
