Whatever happened to the likes of.

Rich Mcdonald,
Clive Dietrich, and his buddy Malcolm Winkworth,
Kevin Maddocks,

To name but a few. All notable anglers and authors in one respect or another. They all seemed to drop out of the limelight in a very short period. And having been out of the loop for some time I'm bemused.

Any input will be appreciated.

Ritchie is living in Feltham,SW London, doesn't fish at all and has no interest in todays scene.
Malcom passed away some years ago.
I don't know what the other two are up to but I think KM lives in France with a commercial fishery but that's a rough guess.

Derek, its a puzzle how some who are constantly there just fizzle out.

I have one of my own if you will forgive me for extending this thread.
There were a couple of brothers, the Vincents, who were often in the weeklies and news some years ago.
I read they were from the East of London, I think.

A few years ago there was an article and a feature in a weekly about a disabled anglers championship, and there was a picture of one of the brothers who had dwarfism.
Previously to that I had only ever seen head and shoulder photos.

As they are about my own age it rang a bell. There was a lad with dwarfism who used to fish with his mates at Raphaels Park Romford, in the early 1960s.

A bit of a long shot I know but anyone know them now and if it was them I used to fish alongside as a kid?
