[78-L] Help please from UK members

[Kristjan Saag]

Hi, Ron,
It's now a few days since you asked for help about David Southwood. I 
tried to assist you, forwarding links to dozens of magazine articles and 
websites where his name and work is mentioned: I also mentioned a few 
names at the BBC who might have worked with him and are still active.
You've commented a few other mails, dead ends as it seems. Usually, when 
I get help from the list, I try to credit all contributors, especially 
those who've used a bit more of their time and search skills to help you.
Kind regards,
Kristjan
