Having found, "The Golden Fleece" (see photo), the night before, I awoke that morning and decided to do a "walk-about" just the get the feel of Thirsk. I exited the front door and turned right and then turned right again. I remember noticing a small shop specializing in vacuum cleaners and thought to myself, "this fellow has got to be nuts", as how many vacuum cleaners are there in a town of less that 3,000 persons? Can he really make a living? 

As I continued walking along the road thinking about how I was going to find, "James White or James Black", (names that friends told me was his real name) the sun glinted on a brass plaque on the other side of the street. My curiosity aroused, I crossed the street for a closer "look-see". 

As I neared, I began to read, "James Wight, Veterinary Surgeon".

Eureka! I couldn't believe my luck. I had found James Herriot on a direct path from Camp David to Thirsk, Yorkshire!

The sign said that surgery hours were 10:00 am - 2:00 pm so I returned around 10:00 am hoping for an unscheduled meeting with the famous writer.
