Donal Docherty - Andy Farren... an absolute gentleman... I first met Andy in late 1967, he was always a gentleman to deal with always very helpful would not see you stuck for picture.... He once told me that when himself and Padraig set-up Lensmen they had a contract drawn by a Solicitor and not once did they have to refer to after that.... over 50 years working together and never fell out..... god bless you Andy....
