The
QttVE
Story
By Stuart Dale
When I first started to look into the life of Oliver Whales, I had no idea
that it would take me a full four years before I had a story that was worth
telling. I think that story is now ready to be told, and I hope you will all
enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed researching it.
I should like to thank my friend Kevin Gowland for his editing skills &
contributions. I should also like to thank Oliver 's granddaughter Helen
who has kindly allowed me to use some of the photographs from her
personal collection to illustrate Oliver's story. Unless otherwise stated,
all photographs are courtesy Helen and the Whales family.
