| TAF O'Toole was instrumental in forming
the first Carlton le Willows film society of which I was a proud member,
and even have my original membership card!
I can remember seeing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at the film club and I seem to remember the films featured Racquel Welch about every other week which may have shown something about Mr O'Tooles taste in women! |
