Some of you will know of Ann Barrett as a keen and active member of the Isle of Wight list and of her valuable work for family history. Her husband, Les, has been her helper and supporter for many years, without whom she would have been unable to do all the work she has done. During the last few weeks he has been very ill and his time has been divided between home and the Mountbatten Hospice. This morning he passed away. I am sure you will join with me in sympathy for Ann in her loss. If any of you wish to send cards of sympathy her home address is 17 Southfield Gardens, Haylands, RYDE, ISLE OF WIGHT, PO33 3EF Chris
