high martin441.i think you are the same dave newton I used to work with at dormer I used to work on auto backing off with dickie peat and if I am right you used to work on centreless grinding if it is it is very nice to hear from you after all these years

Hi, my wife Lou was wondering if anyone remembered her dad, he was John Stewart, and Irish, and would have been working at Dormer some time between 65 - 69. He had a wife Elizabeth, and 6 kids called Helen, Ian, Hazel, Louise, Carol and Joe.  He died in 69 with leukaemia aged 40 and we know the staff did a whip round for his family, which was really appreciated and needed at the time  if anyone remembers him even vaguely please reply because Lou just wants to say thank you, and hear any stories about her dad. Thanks for your time
