This book is published to tell the story of the Vernon High School (VHS) Lions football team. A full and best-effort was made to compile this document. The time to fully tell the story of the team has sadly passed, because many of the principal contributors, players and supporters of the program have departed the confines of this earth. Many were gone before pen was put to paper. I believe all archived information that could be discovered is here and will be reported in these pages.

Scott Rokeby, an American in his thirties, flies to Europe in a desperate search for his father, a retired Cold War warrior, who has suddenly disappeared and is later found murdered in mysterious circumstances. In London, he saves the life of Julie Dixon, a young journalist whose brother, a brilliant research scientist has also gone missing. Her investigations into smuggling, drug dealing and money-laundering have put her in terrible danger. A billion dollars in bearer bonds, protected by encryption codes and established by President Kennedy to support revolution among the vassal states of the Soviet Union has been stolen. A supergun has been developed capable of wreaking destruction on an unimaginable scale. The fear that it will fall into the hands of pariah states, terrorists or powerful neo-Nazi factions brings international tensions to the brink of war. Every step of Scott and Julie's quest bring them closer to the centre of a sinister web spun by a man determined to revenge himself on those who abandoned him to the living hell of the Soviet labour camps, a master criminal whose arms-trafficking operation reaches into the darkest corners of the globe.

The expectations of the middle classes are the target of this wickedly written volume of tales. A general stops at nothing to get a promotion, only to meet his match in his rival's wife. A couple fall in love at a drinks party yet consummating their desire proves more and more frustrating. And a man is asked to spy on a beautiful foreign agent - but things are not quite as they seem. Subtle wit and broad farce walk joyously hand in hand through Escapade.

This volume of short stories is for the connoisseur of acutely observed foibles of human nature. In The Mark of the Beast, a timid salesman throws caution to the winds while on a trip to Paris. A wealthy property owner goes undercover to discover how his business is really run. And two school friends become rivals for the love of the same woman. Treachery, jealousy and foolishness soon begin to unravel the threads of seemingly respectable lives.

This is a collection of tales from a master storyteller which probes at the cracks in the human condition. Unexpected consequences befall a married woman in wartime London seeking news of her lover. An estate agent gets more than he bargained for when a beautiful client asks for a private viewing. And an antiques dealer makes a macabre discovery at a house buried deep in the Surrey hills. By turns ironic, comic and provocative, A Crack in the Glass is a tantalising assortment of bittersweet delights.
