Hugh SkillenI would like to make contact with any family members of Major Hugh Skillen who taught me French at Harrow County Grammar School from 1953-1960. I know he had sons of about my age (I am now in my 80s) and, I think, they lived in Pinner. I have never forgotten him! - Philip Allen.

J. CarneyJohn Carney,
This is Steve Martina. You were my team leader at A-413 in 1967. I was a 32, medic.
I’ve been trying to find you, mostly just to say how much I appreciated your leadership. We were all sorry you couldn’t return to BTT.
I hope you are well. Srm549@gmail.com
