Dave "Ricky" Richards is critically ill on a life support machine in Leeds General Infirmary. I'm sure all forum members wish him well. He would like to contact "Blondie Warren" who we believe was called David. We understand they were at Dartmouth together but lost touch when Blondie was posted away. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of "Blondie" are requested to contact admin who will pass the details onto "Ricky's" Son. This is also be posted in Sickbay in the coffee boat... Thank you

No news of his missing buddy though - what era was he was at BRNC? Not mine.

I think Les Sheppard might be getting a little mixed up there Deli. There was a Mick Warren under training at the same time as Les, but I don't think he'd remember a Blondie Warren. I may be wrong. but......
