Re: Hello
I know there is a chapter about the time my father was in his crew. I think I will have to and try and find it in one of my boxes, unless you will all be patient to wait till I move. I can hold off from this research till then if you would like.

Re: Hello
There is no rush Sheila ,
Anything at all, in your own time is welcomed.
Some of the team here may add more as found,
we all have own avenues and resource hence,
time usually yields good results. Some one may
also have the book etc.
In the main the intention would be to both assist
and work with you. Again, time frame has no end date.
All the best.
Keith.

Re: Hello
Thank you Keith, you have been most helpful.
