Re: RE Ted Proud
Ken
Dear Dave, I didn't really know him. We just had a few exchanges about crash covers. So you knew him better than me. I forwarded your email to the following British aerophilatelists, so maybe one of them can write an obit. Richard Saundry <0173richard@...>, John C Symons <john@...>, Bill Trower <Billtrower@...>, Brian Asquith <brianasquith@...>, EDWARD SPICER <e.spicer2@...>, John Wilson <johnw.panam@...>, Barbara Priddy <bmkpriddy@...>, Nicholas Arrow <nicholasarrow@...>, Peter Lister <p.a.lister@...>, Derrick Pillage <derrickpillage@...>, Laurence Kimpton <l.j.kimpton@...>, Duncan Crewe <Dunccrew@...> Cheers, Ken On Wed, Feb 8, 2017 at 6:08 PM, GreyOldDave decrotty@...

RE Ted Proud
GreyOldDave
Folks, I forgot to mention that is you knew Ted Proud well I, as editor of the Philatelic Communicator am looking for a good Obit for Ted. I got to know him relatively recently due to his three volumes of aero work. He wrote some 80 other books of postal history. David Crotty |
