To Betty Dotson Renick, Thank you so much for the interesting information, I trust that this will point me someway in the right direction. Currently I am back at 1800 in and around Middlesex and Surrey, coming up through Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire to my presence here in Yorkshire. Thanks you so much, P.S. Our thoughts are with all of you who might be in the path of the hurricane - thank god we don't have these problems here, we just complain about a bit of rain!
