Hi David:
I have just got back from Scotland and staying with lady Margaret. Also
spoke with Malcolm.  All well and in good spirits.  As a sidelight,  John
Thurso is a third cousin of Peter Rosslyn as his great-grandmother was a
daughter of the Earl of Rosslyn.  Lady Margaret remembers Robin's mother
talking about Granny Rosslyn.  Yours Aye Rory.
