Subject: RE: Maud Karpeles Oxford DNB Life Of The Day From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 29 Feb 08 - 01:40 PM Nice one, Dave! I'm impressed... Seriously, you ought to email and tell them - they're bound to want to have their information accurate. |

Dave (pedantic as ever - but loved correcting Oxford University). |

What WOULD Miss Karpeles have thought of electric morris (apart from the obvious of it being loud and fast)? She lived long enough to hear Morris On, after all! |
