From: "John French" To: Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 2:31 PM Subject: Re: Dubious link Shame. Also - If you wish to add to web, from same era. Where are they now? and memories. Ron Touw - Was in same group as me and I kept in touch for quite a while since MNC, was even his Best Man when he got married. Ron worked at Met Police TSG then moved to Home Office Monitoring station at Baldock (not sure if you can publish this??) He used to live in Luton but moved to somwhere in North Bedfordshire and I lost touch. Last count - married to Trish with 1 son. Tony Myers - same group, left in 1979 and went to Trent Polytech to study Degree. No idea where he is now. Grant Cartledge - Same group, left in 1979 and went to Brighton Poly to study Degree. Met up a few times since but no idea where he is now. His parents used to live in Littlehampton so he could probably still be around there. Pierre Featherbe - (Year above or in MRGC), left in 1979? - Knew Pierre as we both came from Folkestone. Met up with Pierre again when I worked at Dymar Electronics in Watford and the company was taken over by Burndept based in Erith. We worled together for a while in Manchester on a project for the Gtr Manchester Police. I know Pierre then moved to another PMR company but lost touch. Mark Fay - Dont know what Mark is doing these days. All I can say is that he had the most wicked Hi-Fi in the whole of Kent when at MNC. Made it himself and had speakers the size of wardrobes. Pink Floyd at full volume could be heard in Southend. Top Dude. Used to live in Crowborough / or at least his girlfriend did - cant remember. Myself / Ron Touw / Steve Faulkner: Set up the MNC Amateur Radio club. Additionally, Ron and I developed an Intercom system that we could use all around the college by "simply connecting one wire to the nearest central heating radiator, and the other to the earth of a mains plug" ...........Sad I know but it kept us amused. I wasn't aware that you were goiing to add my initial email to the web - you can add that I am married (2nd time round) with one son from 1st marriage, live in South Bedfordshire. Can't you tell its Friday afternoon - I bet thats when you get the most information posted.

I was somewhat concerned to find that despite searching British Telecom Marine there were no returns for BT of any use whatsoever. It would appear that with the demise of HF they have abandoned marine telecommunications. Regards Paul Bird
