During World War II my mother lived with the Good family while she was in the Territorial Auxiliary (British Women's Army) along with six other young women. My father was stationed in England during the war, they met and my mother later came to the US as a war bride. We went to England in 1962 to visit family and visited the Goods as well.

Bill Good was a very quiet man, normally. It was quite an experience as a ten year old to ride with him in his Bentley, going 70 miles an hour on the narrow country roads near Caversham. He always smiled broadly behind the wheel, enjoying himself immensely.

The car has changed a great deal since he owned it, judging by the more recent photographs. It's a privilege to add a few photographs. The Goods were wonderful people; their parish priest told them that they were "Good by name and better by nature".

"I don't know exact dates, but from the early 1950s until sometime after 1962 this car was owned by William Good of Caversham, Reading. (When I was ten years old, I polished the radiator shell of this car.)"
