Dear Bron. I was not aware that you were interested in Mr. Helms so I have not been looking. I went into the GSV this morning and looked up the obituaries in The Scotch Collegian and his appears in the 1972 issue; not only an obituary but the full transcript of his funeral eulogy. He was Oscar Francis (Bill) Helms and died 30 Jul 1972 aged 64 and was art master at Scotch for over 30 years. I have photocopies of all this which I will post to you but I have lost your address so will you please let me have it again.
