Sorry Ernest, I thought that you had passed on the information re, the island needing to secure their documents when they had to evacuate the island, and would remember who made the request. I did contact the acquisitions department of the FHL, and they put me incontact with thier caribbean photogropher who was in Puerto Rico who was about to return to the US, and he did contact Montserrat, but as I said a computer crash lost me all of that information.
