[So It Goes 2512]

Ray, I for one cannot thank you enough. A year and nearly three months ago I started on a personal quest to catalogue all the Festive Fifties that hadn't been done (which is now finished), and regretfully had to note that in the 1981 FF, 28 December was missing. Then you come along and make what has been a very painful day (I had a tooth extracted this morning) into a field of sunshine. Thabks for that and all your other files too!

Best wishes
Steve [TK]
