This is from Chris Metherell, step dancer, archivist of the Morris Ring, researcher & all-round good bloke:

Good Evening,

This may be a completely unnecessary mail. I hope it is.

The High Spen Blue Diamonds traditional rapper team has mislaid one of its members. George Wallace, who dances No 4, has been with the team for around 25 years. A few weeks ago he stopped appearing at practice. Without going into detail members of the team became so worried that telephone calls were not returned and that neighbours had not seen him for some time that the Police were informed. The Police were worried enough to break into his house (he lives alone). It was clear that he had not been there for several weeks.

We do not wish to encroach on George's privacy. We really, really hope that he has taken off somewhere and is just having a good time. But we are very concerned that something untoward has occured.

So, if anyone in the folk/rapper world has seen George recently could they let us know (off -list if appropriate) or if anyone actually knows where he is could they ask him to get in touch.

And it would be a kindness to spend a few seconds pasing this mail onto colleagues who are not on the MDDL. The more people who know the better.

Thank you all for your help.
