Love this blog!!! :)
Great info on Peter Reckell! Are you going to do a post on Kristian Alfonso soon?
After reading the blog on Peter, I must say that I learnt a lot more about him in the past five minutes that I have during the last 12 years in magazines etc. If I only knew some of his interests when he came down under at least I could have had a better and longer conversation with him.
