Thank you to Hugh, Kevin and Helen for their help on Zeppelins. I will try all suggestions. I am trying to verify quite a few things my dad told me as am putting his reminiscences into a booklet. Some of you may recall my query on the last blast at Blaenavon. So far, I have been able to do so and he always seems to be correct but am a bit stuck on this one. I never thought to ask exactly how old he would have been when he saw it but he gave me the impression that he was fairly young about 14. My aunt was with him and saw it at the same time. Both of them were married by 1832(the date suggested by listers) and therefore unlikely to have been together at this particular location when they saw it, if it was on that occasion. Dad is now dead and my Aunt is 104 and memory not clear (mine probably won't be at that age) but will have to try and ask her if she can remember how old she was. AS for Led Zeppelin(big grin) he used to bring his girl friend's two children to the school where I taught and we often had discussions on jazz/blues. He loaned me his Leadbelly records. Lovely man but gets in the way on Google!!. Regards Dawn dawn.cumbley@virgin.net

Hi Dawn, You mention all suggestions and to try them all......didn't you see the link where it mentioned your Graf Zeppelin over Monmouthshire in 1932. I mean it's there in black and white. ;-) Regards, Kevin.> From: dawn.cumbley@virgin.net> To: MONMOUTHSHIRE@rootsweb.com> Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:39:17 +0100> Subject: Re: [MON] ZEPPELINS Thanks Kevin, Hugh and Helen> > Thank you to Hugh, Kevin and Helen for their help on Zeppelins.

Hi Kevin ALL suggestions gratefully received. Yes thanks I saw the link, someone sent me a copy as well. Could have been possible it was the occasion. Maybe it wasn't a Zeppelin they saw? Haven't tried the link myself yet as have been busy answering with thanks to all who so kindly replied both on and off list. Only came online at 7.15 p.m :-)) Kindest regards Dawn ----- Original Message ----- From: "kevin mcc" <cardiff2cork@hotmail.com> To: <monmouthshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 7:49 PM Subject: Re: [MON] ZEPPELINS Thanks Kevin, Hugh and Helen > > Hi Dawn, You mention all suggestions and to try them all......didn't you > see the link where it mentioned your Graf Zeppelin over Monmouthshire in > 1932.
