Gulfwaterlady Thankyou for the indepth background on him. I STILL haven't managed to catch him YET... How heartbreaking to hear. I have NEVER listened to a podcast (never had any reason to) but it sounds like HIS would be one I could do! Do you recall what it was called or how I could find them to ...
