It's me again....

[Davis Watson]

I realise it may not be a question related to Manly, but would anyone know what one of the Raper family are up to nowadays, please?

There is John, Ron, Maurie, Peter and then Stuart and Aaron, as well.

I'm sure one of them must be involved in business or rugby or media, etc,

Thank you,

Davis

Johnny Raper is not doing that well, Stuart has had a few jobs with the NRL, I guess he is still there in some capacity.

Maurice has a beer some weekends at Culburra’s van park and can’t tip a winner in dogs horses or trotters let alone footy and I let him know as often as I can

Thanks for the advice Eagle66, that's top of my reserve list.

But Maurie is the Raper is the one I would like to speak to, as he was the last ever man to coach Cliff, when he joined Helensburgh in 1976. Have you any advice as how to contact Maurie, please?

Thanks,

Davis

A workmate is a relative of the Raper family. I will ask him for Maurie's details.

Firstly, thanks for the wonderful article. It's a lovely little piece.

Secondly, thanks for the offering to assist me in contacting the Rapers - I really appreciate it - and I really look forward to hearing from you.
