Two weeks ago the Gazette printed a request from a genleman in Canada who wanted to track down an oldfriend - Kenneth Downham, of Linton,

The Gazette has received this letter in response.

Dear Editor,

For the benefit of those who know me, I am still alive, not necessarily kicking, a small problem of a missing ’e’ in the email.

Yes, Steven is an old student I taught in the early 1960s and indeed we have kept in touch, as I have with many old students from the distant past.

Ken Downham
