Wasn't there a whole family of Tait brothers in the BSISLP, or am I thinking of someone else?<br /><br />I remember reading an article about the organisation years ago. I think - not 100% definite - that it was written by Mark Shipway, and I think it was published in a short lived historical journal that was put together by Frank Girard and Ben Perry. <br /><br />My memory's not what it was. ;-)Imposs1904https://www.blogger.com/profile/04043116442576404667noreply@blogger.com
