I left for England in 1954 and lost contact with Buster but his brother came over to London and we worked together on a couple of building sites. Noel was also in the Young Workers League. Noel didn't stay long in London and went home to Belfast. I then lost contact with him. I heard he had started up buildong business. I met Buster again in the early 1970s when I was on a visit to Belfast. We had a drink in the Arts Club and talked about the times we went to the World Youth Festival which was held in Bulgaria during the 1950s, and again in Moscow. So you can see he was very political at one time. I didn't know he was married. I know he had a girlfriend back in 1954 who had won the Miss Belfast title as a teenager at the time. We went everyhere in Belfast during our political time - into the Markets, up the Falls, the Shankill, Ardoyne... knocking on doors and asking people to sign the Five Point Peace Plan, which was for world peace. Buster was accepted everywhere he went in Belfast, and that was before he became well-known. He did have charm as a young man. There was never any trouble for he hated sectarianism, as Noel did. The YWL was a mixed organisation. One day a visitor from Belfast told me had just seen on TV Buster having the biggest single pane of glass, North or South, being put into his new gymnasium. He sure made a place for himself in Belfast. Amazing to think he was as good as capitalist as he was a communist. Buster and Noel, two fine lads.
