So, over the weekend there was an article in one of the magazines about Saskia, the 31-year-old daughter of Don Tidey. Tidey's obitable and within sight of his 90th birthday, a book came out last year telling the inside story of the most memorable and dangerous days of his life when he was kidnapped by the IRA in 1983. He married the music teacher of his (then) youngest daughter and fathered the current sailing champion years after the kidnap. and he's planning to be there to watch her compete for a medal in Paris.
