Dear philmil~

I'd like to publicly thank you for all that you've done to enlighten us concerning matters of SS biography. You're surely the best thing to happen to the online SS research community in years.

And if you don't mind, I'll continue to post these queries. But I hope you're not having to write this stuff from scratch- is it already prepared or are you typing it fresh each time?

Thanks again for everything.

Very Respectfully,
~ Mike Miller / ABR

Hi Mike
All my Bios are on paper not on PC or disc. I started work on Bios many years before I aquired a PC and I did not want to transfer it to disc. I prefer to trust to paper rather than a machine. I do have to enter everyone required so that is why I do not attempt to do long lists. I am quite willing to have photocpoies made and send by post
Phil
