On 09-Oct-2020 Clinton Smout from Canada left the following message for D. Succamore: "Hello David, Clinton Smout here. Our parents were great friends (Doreen and Gerry Smout). Your father helped build our home near Barrie. I am writing a story for a motorcycle magazine and researching Speedway racing in Canada. It started in Canada post second world war when English men immigrated and brought their motorcycles with them. Our Dads raced at our farm (Finch Avenue). I can remember sitting on your Dad`s bike which was under the stairs in your basement. I think it was a John Alfred Prestwich or better know as a J.A.P. Do you happen to know what happened to your Dad`s bike. If it is in a museum I would love to photograph it. Or if you happen to have any photos of them riding that would be amazing. I hope all is well with you and yours. Best regards, Clinton Smout."
