1953 - 1955 ‘‘I used to knock around with a John Harken who lived down the street from me at 73 Duke Street. I think John might have been a year or two older than me, so I suppose you might say he was the “ringleader”. I can remember playing in boats that were moored to the jetties down on the river, having old chaps roaring at us to get out of the boats. I don’t know about John, but I couldn’t swim and it also beats me as to how we crossed Canning Highway… Another one of our jaunts/escapades was taunting the “prop men” who meandered down Marmion Street. The “prop men” were usually down on their luck types, troubled returned servicemen, vagrants and some would just say “bums” who used to hawk these cut down trees of about 2 to 2½ metres in length for ladies to prop up their washing line so that the drying laundry wouldn’t drag in the dirt. As they usually had a few of these props on their backs/shoulders they couldn’t do much to the little rag tags taunting them and running around them yelling out “Prop man”, “Prop man” as they’d lose their load…John Harken’s father (Allen Matthew Harken; wife Margaret Divina Harken) could have been a train driver/railway employee or a Prison Warder…” correspondence from Raymond Morris 2019.

When they see us smile;
But one can never know the broken heart
That is hidden all the while”.
