I knew Murray quite well. He was a very wise man indeed who taught me a couple of things I have always lived by. My favourite was "If you never do business with a crook you will never get anything done!" He also advised, "Talk about me good-talk about me bad. It doesn't matter as long as you talk about me!" Some people would say that I have lived by that too!
Anyway, I came across this article about him on the internet. I remember the author of said article contacted me some time ago for my input and I see that this is mentioned in the latter half of the piece. It may well interest some of you.
