Dear Penny, My computer crashed last night after a power failure. The back up power supply caught the surge and gave its life for the computer. I do not know if my message to you was sent. Bette Butcher Topp at toppline@cet.com has had articles about touring Carpenter locations in England. The now defunct Carpenter & Related Family Historical Journal had Raymond George Carpenter's article. Unfortunately, I lent my copy out and never got it back. My father toured Southern England briefly a few years ago. I wrote an article for the above C&RFHJ but it was never published. I do not remember if I ever sent a copy to Bette. If Bette can not help you, let me know. Sincerely, John R.
