LITTLE did I think when I was asked to say a few words about Ger for the article Dickie Power wrote about him in The Irish Field last November that, less than two months later, I would be asked to do the same for his obituary.

Little did I also think when he rang me the day before the Buttevant meet in December and we discussed where we would go, which was always such an easy task as he knew everywhere and everyone, that it would turn out to be his last meet.
