We begin our third January Issue by
wishing everyone a happy and, above all, a peaceful New Year. Thank you
too for all the Christmas e-mails.
We make no apologies for devoting a single Issue to Tom
Stentiford's story - he is something of a legend on both sides of the
Atlantic and we have drawn on a number of sources to tell a tale that is
full of twists and turns. Our posthumous contributor is Richard Hayward
who was one of the compilers of the 1955 Stentiford history. He was the
son of Tom's sister Elizabeth and had first-hand experience of
Tom's life in this country. Our thanks are also due to Rita Montano who
researched the events that occurred after he left the UK. Thanks too, to
Rita Poirier who shared similar information with us.
