Della, your father Godfrey worked with my father, Phil Anderson, when he toured the UK in 1960 and 1964.

I've just found some archive footage of the pair of them in Maidenhead UK in 1964. Quite emotional, my dad passed away in 1986 and it's strange to see him from a time before I was even born.

Well, this was my father. How proud I am. He was always a visionary and creating something - hence it is easy to understand he formulated an easier style of shearing. He was a wonderful father as well, gave my brothers, sister and I such a 'positive' upbringing, which was full of 'can do' and love. Della

Thank you so much for preserving this video, and for making it available online. I was raised on a farm in the midwest USA in the same era as the video. Tho we did not raise sheep on our farm, some neighbors did, but I have never seen a sheep being sheered. So this was a real treat for me!

a lost treasure. thanks. Godrey Bowen was a visionary... and had communist tendencies, supposedly. Though I have never ever found his book about his travels to Russia.
