I know Boston well. My first ever visit to the United States was to Boston. I have many friends there, my eldest daughter's Godmother lives in the city and works close to the street where Monday's atrocity occurred. Luckily she left work early that day to avoid the crowds.
Before coming here to America I worked for many years as an industrial engineer for Royal Mail, the British Postal Service. It was a good career, I began as a mail carrier, a job very different to our own USPS mail carrier's in that our routes were called 'walks' and that is literally what we did, there was no delivery truck and we walked several miles each day carrying a heavy mail bag. I was fitter and many pounds lighter in those days!

A member of the First Southern Baptist in South Point, Carson was well known for his famous coconut cakes and peanut butter fudge. He was an avid gardener, raising some of the best half-runner green beans and big boy tomatoes in South Point. Carson met and fell in love with Henrietta Jewel McClure, whom he was happily married to for 41 years until her death in 1988. A second marriage to Helen McCoy lasted until her death in 2002. Service for Carson Duke will be held Friday, April 5, 2013, at 11 a.m. at the Allen Funeral Home in Hurricane, W.Va., with Pastor Rick Frazier officiating. Burial will follow at Mt. Moriah Cemetery.
