"... I also called PWL. Helen Dann, Pete's assistant was not in so I left a message, probably with the teaboy, Rick Astley II ..."

"... I called PWL and was put on hold for about 10 minutes waiting for Helen Dann. They play SAW music when you're on hold (Ed.-what else?) ... I talked to Helen and we arranged to meet on Thursday at 2:30-3:00. She seems like a very nice lady ..."

"I went in and on the right side of the room, records filled the walls. Gold and silver (Ed.- and platinum?) ... Dean showed me around and I was allowed to take pictures. The rooms were small but nice. Records were on the walls everywhere. I didn't realize that P. Waterman owned PWL & All Boy's Music & PAL Productions AND Loose End Productions. (Ed.-I have some Nik Kershaw stuff) ... (Dean) took me to the other building where they do the mastering for the vinyl and CD. When I was there I saw Dave Ford in one of the studios. At the end of the tour the secretary gave me a package (envelope) of records ... new releases and limited editions. I asked if I could meet Pete but she said he had gone for lunch ... Before I left he came in and I saw him and he saw me. He had glasses and his hair was silver ... The secretary asked him to sign this book for me before I left."

"It was a great trip and over time, with what has transpired with SAW and PWL, I appreciate it more and more."
