Blake, who lived until 1948
In Felixstowe, Suffolk county,
45 miles from the castle where
the King died, told The Daily
Nebraskan Wednesday that the
King was well-loved in the
agricultural community.
The Royal Family used to at

Castle was "more or less the Royal
Family's permanent home when
they were not in London," he said,
"an,d they always went there for
the pheasant season in September
and October."
The King and Queen lived in
the "small cozy" lodge of the
castle, Blake informed The
Daily Nebraskan. The castle
was used only for visiting
royalty.
The family went riding often,
"shooting" a lot in the hunting
season and yachting in Norfolk

waterways, Blake related.

The official period of court
mourning will be from six to nine
months, according to Blake. The
new Queen's coronation cannot be
held unttil after the mourning,
and Blake said "they will prob
ably want that in the summer."
The actual difference in the
life of the man on the street
caused by the King's death,
Blake explained, will be slight.
"Of course there will be much
regret because the King was

Blake had the following to say
about the people's respect for the
'its because he refused to leave
Britain during the war when he
had so many offers. He would
not even leave London until there
was no more danger. He would
go out in the mornings after a
bombing raid to look over the
damage, and the people though he
was all right. They always gather
at the palace when there is any
trouble.
"The King was a quiet man
not hnmhastif. nt all Ponnla ium
him than respect. Many people
around Dereham knew tho Kins
personally and the Royal Family
patronized the small villase stores.
i These stores were allowed to dis
play hge royal crests just as the
big firms in London which had
contracts with the Royal Family."
Although it will be a long
time before Britons will feel
that anyone has taken the place
of King George, Blake believes,
Englishmen have every respect
for Queen Elizabeth. And "it's
kind of a superstition in Britain
that Britain always prospers un
der a Queen," he said.

"A lot of people seem to think

Blake, who is not vet an A

His mother, still living in Eng
