Whoooeee! Even more goodies...
Seeing the mention of Philip (Phillipe) Marillier makes me think of the
coincidence from last weekend.....I met one of his descendants working at
'The Bush' Hotel in Farnham, Surrey....Nicholas appears to be working as a
trainee manager....he has checked out the Marillier website and found
himself on there....he was quite amazed that I already had him included in
my file! Nicholas is from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe....I didn't feel it was right
to blast him with a lot of questions...poor lad would have been
overwhelmed!!

Debbie, this book seems to be an absolute treasure trove of info....thank
you once again.
Groete,
Tombi
