Hi Greg, I am not sure that there was a relationship between Jimmy Tulloch and the family of Reg Tulloch. I do recall that Jimmy was a regular customer at Head's grocery store. Rumour has it that on more than one occasion he sought to settle his account with produce from his vineyard.

G'day John, You may well be correct John--as I said 'I understood'. I knew Fred fairly well and I vaguely recall him saying that there was a distant relationship--but I may be wrong. It's a long time ago. Hope you are keeping well. Greg.
