Hi Michele,

If you can put together a concise paragraph of the info you already have,
I'll forward it to my friend at the Cornish Guardian newspaper and see what
he can come up with. Would you be okay with him running a newspaper article
about it asking for information?

You can email me offlist or onlist, whatever is appropriate. My email is:


Regards,
Susan
