Photos: Block, Mitchell and David. Somewhere near Doncaster and Sheffield. 9 March 1981. 9:50 p.m. Dale Block Clarke's funeral had been that morning. Out to dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Hill (friends of Dale's). A good folk singer was performing Simon and Garfunkel songs; played The Sound of Silence just as we sat down for dinner ("silence like a cancer grows"): Lowell and Block Genealogy and Social History
