I Am A Bit Of A Mongrel

My full name is David Verdun Harris and I am bit of a mongrel would you believe. I have a lot of different blood running through my veins. My middle name is French and there is English, Irish, Scots and Canadian and even a bit of Spanish Gypsy from way back when. That could account for my love of flamenco music. I had an uncle who was a gunman for the IRA in the 1920’s. I am a distant relative to one of the most decorated American soldiers of the Vietnam War who has 61 medals to his credit. On the other side of the family I am informed there are Admirals and a Lord and not forgetting a famous cricketer who is in the Guinness Book of Records and played for the first English cricket team. Then you come to me a pretend Preacher and a wannabe writer. Therefore, when I call myself a mongrel that’s exactly what I am, a real mixed breed. They may even enter me into Cruffs next year. You never know I may even win a blue ribbon in the mixed breed section. 4 March 2009
