Hi EvieBeavie,

I had been trying to help Lorna from a previous thread where she was trying to make contact with somebody via a 2003 thread. I suggested she put a thread on with some information concerning the person she was trying to research...hence this thread.

I did receive some info in a pm so have been able to work from that to get this far........but I can't do the Australian part for her.

Perhaps she is like me and only had intermittent access to GR these past couple of days...that little man is inside my computer doing maintenance on the GR site.
