Two girls named June

Once upon a time there were two boys named Fincher. Their names were Michael and Terry. They both lived in Putney, south London.
Once upon another time there were two girls named June smith. they were not related, but each loved one of the Fincher boys. At a later time June Smith met Michael Fincher, through her brother Hugh, who worked with and played cricket and football with mike when they both worked for the Wandsworth Borough Council. Hugh and June moved to Oxford and in the course of time. Michael visited Oxford and their friendship blossomed and they were married. Hugh was Mike’s Best Man at their wedding. June and Mike moved back to London and lived just behind Brixton prison, in Dumbarton road. June and Mike had two children, Robert and Rebecca. Robert lives with wife Sandra in Bromley and is a successful photographic printer, working for the Daily Express. Rebecca has two children, Mark and Ruth. Mark is a successful restaurant manager and Ruth is a partner in Specsavers optician’s business in Maidstone , where she manages the contact lens section.
Mike continued to work in local government and moved to Hammersmith Borough Council, working in the Borough Engineer’s department. In time they moved from Dumbarton road to a new block of flats in Streatham and later to Arundel drive in Chelsfield, from where Mike commuted to London. Mike suffered from ill-health and eventually had to leave work as he had contracted multiple sclerosis, suffering for many years until he died in hospital in 1982.
Meanwhile the other June Smith and Terry also met and were married. They had three daughters, Jayne, Sally and……………….
and they lived in Surrey. Terry worked for the Daily Express as a press photographer and for years he was Champion news cameraman – traveling all over he world to get photos for the Daily Express and eventually was named press photographer of the year and appeared on “This is your life” TV programme. He was a very successful press photographer and in time opened his own private press photography business. His daughter Jayne also joined in the business and she gradually became a very successful press photographer, working as personal photographer to the Princess of Wales, Lady Diana Spencer. Terry became ill and his daughter Sally had a heart attack
June later contracted Parkinson’s disease and I have just learned that after suffering this debilitating disease for over 15 years, she sadly died in September 2008. RIP
Terry continues to live in Surrey but his illness is so bad that he spends all his life in a wheelchair.
