Sister's Wedding
Tommy Farr, the British champion, who is in London, lifted the telephone receiver recently to hear his 22-year-old sister, Sally, tell him she had just been married.
The wedding had taken place at Slough Register Office, and Tommy was the first person in the family to hear the news.
The bridegroom was Mr. Norman Mackenzie Black, aged 29, an orchid specialist, of Middle Green, Wexham, near Slough.
The wedding was by special licence, and only two persons, apart from the bride and bridegrooni, were present.
They were Mr. George Bennett, proprietor of the training camp where Farr prepared for 15 heavy-weight fights, and his son, Mr. G. E. Bennett.
Tommy was delighted to hear the nowe, but told his sister hå was sorry sho had not Informed him 'carller, so that he could be present.
