[Anyone who worked at Elastic Yarns or Naafi Office]

Hi Wolfe Peter Hein,

I worked at Elastic Yarns late sixties/ early seventies ( see previous posts)  Sorry to inform you that Bill Metcalf passed away earlier this year in a nursing home in Nottingham.

For the last couple of years I have been meeting up with Alan Rose and a few others  twice a year for a meal and Alan is often in touch by e-mail.

 

Regards

Dave Callard
