Click here to find out more about my dad, John Thomas Martin, who was also a journalist and writer. He died in 1996, before the Internet came to him but I know he would have loved this medium. Hence, I thought it was fitting he should have his own page here. I know he is still with us because a cheque arrived from England a couple of years after he had died. It was for 20 pounds, being payment for an article he had submitted and which had finally been published.
