Hi Alan, a belated welcome to Wikipedia though I know you have contributed a couple of times in the past. I wanted to acknowlegde your extraordinary body of published works in the Rugby League area and to say on behalf of the Wikipedia Rugby League Project & State of Origin Taskforce that we would welcome your expert commentary and input. I'm sorry that mdmanser did not embrace your view on the Cumberland two bye issue in season in 1908, but I have recently purchased and read your History of the Clubs book and have now reverted to your edit and added a citation. Please feel free to drop into the RL Project talk page and give us a steer on anything you note that is incorrect in our RL articles generally or of course go boldly forth & edit yourself. There are in truth just a handful of us who obsessively edit and monitor RL articles and I know we make errors. I for one am greatly indebted to a number of your tremendous works as a source and regularly cite (& acknowledge) them. Thanks again. -Sticks66 (talk) 13:18, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Lady - I - I - I'm sorry'

In the early 1980s, some years before his death, Herb Morrison appeared on one of those disaster shows on American TV hosted by the actor Charles Bronson and his wife Jill. Morrsion stated that a lady standing in front of him fainted during his commentary of the crash of the Hindenberg and he caught her in his arms. This is when he exclaimed 'Lady ... I ... I ... I'm sorry.' I remember taping the show on my old Betamax video recorder and taking to school where I taught in Western Sydney and showing the children in my Grade 5 class an example of 'living history.' Does anyone else remember or know of this interesing reference? I think there should be some discussion before it is put in the text. Alanwhit (talk) 13:08, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Alanwhit! I saw that you were attempting to add a reference to this article, and seemed to be trying to figure out how to do this. I went ahead and fixed it for you. Also, I noticed that you marked this edit you made as 'minor'; I highly encourage you to review this help page regarding when (and when not to) mark your edits as minor; it's important to understand. If you have any questions or need additional help, please don't hesitate to message me on my user talk page here. I'll be more than happy to help you. Just figured I'd leave you a message and let you know :-). Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:12, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
