HMS Minerva Lost Oppos
Lost touch with an oppo' from the
Minerva? Send me the gory details and I'll put them up onto this page. Eventually
they'll be indexed by the search engines (Google, etc). Please send an email to lost
oppos with the relevant information. Please include your surname, rate, dates etc,
there was probably more than one "Topsy Turner".
NEW - as an anti
spam measure, contact details are now held securely in a password protected
Minerva Contacts directory, along with other ex Minervas. Details
here.
Due to a cock up
in my code, (a "cut & paste error") some Minerva lost oppo
requests have been put onto HMS Sirius (www.hmssirius.info) lost oppos list. If
this has happened to your request, please let me know and I'll give you a swap
draft back to Minerva.
