Hello Louise, my name is Leigh. I knew your Dad. He inspired me to press on with the anarcho-syndicalist project. He showed me a suitcase with a lot of copies of ‘Our Path’ (in Cyrillic Script) and leaflets in English that they had published. Do you know what might have happened to this material? It would be great to scan it for our archive. My email address is: [email protected]
