The Director,
Dear Sir, just yesterday – Thursday 15 july, while visiting Edinburgh with some friends, I met up with some members of your Bollywood Film team (near Charlotte Square). One of the team said that he was from Kalimpong & that he had schooled at Dr Graham’s boarding school. As an old Paulite – I schooled at St Pauls, Darjeeling & have visited Kalimpong 1946/49. Would it be possible for you to pass my email address on to this member of your team – or to provide me with a contact address. Thank you & Best Regards, Ken Miln
