Thanks Bridget,

'CEO' - now that makes much more sense !

Anyway, the advice is the same, I am sure there will be reference to him in files + records at American Express, maybe someone may even remember him.

Hopefully, even photo's - you never know.

Best of luck,

Barbara,

Could that D J Ryan possibly be a 'B' J Ryan, only Terence seems to have had an older brother named Bernard J , born Dec. Q 1930 ?

Hi,

Just a thought - I am not sure what CO stands for (you say he was CO of American Express when in Melbourne), but it is obviously a 'high-up' position?

Would it be worthwhile sending an e-mail to the American Express Head Office there, explaining that you are trying to get in touch with this person and why?

They would obviously not be able to give out his details but if they have any records of him (maybe he is drawing a pension from them, or they still have his file??), they may be wiling to pass on a message to him giving details of how he could contact you.

Worth a try?
