			From an e-mail, 11 December 2009:

			"The story about [[Fleming]] and Fanning Island is true. Fleming was a remarkable and very grumpy man who was left on that remote island for most of the war, just to make sure the Japs, or the US for that matter, didn’t land and claim it for themselves. He must have been very reclusive because when the war ended he was made caretaker of another small island, Nukulau Island near Suva, Fiji, where he lived with his wife till he died. It is the sort of life most of us would dream about. He had pretty bad TB and I suspect that is how he came under my father's care as he was chest specialist (and one who smoked 80 cigarettes a day). It was shortly after Streptomycin was found to be a cure and I suspect he felt my dad had saved his life. Anyway, and for whatever reason, he left most of his stuff to my dad.
