This young innocent kid is Derek.Born in July 1959 in Glasgow, Scotland.

A few years later and that innocence is still there.

Now another couple of years have passed and we are at the dreaded schoolboy stage (Brave guy letting these pics on a webpage)

Skipping on a few years Derek thought he would like to be a sailor,but unfortunately that was only to last 4 years as gay guys were not permitted to serve in the forces at that time.So time to look for alternative employment

Well this is how Derek looked when he left the navy and got himself an office job and also met Philip which was in July 1983.

Here are some more pics of Derek through the years.
