Dear Faulty One:
I believe you meant to say Ripperologist Magazine editor Adam Wood,instead of Mr. Simon Wood,The California Man, acquired the Lawende photograph.
Hopefully in 2009…we will see the re-emergence of Gavin Bromley to the boards,magazines,and maybe on Rippercast.

Mike,
The one to whom the Lawende photo was given was ADAM Wood, executive editor of Ripperologist. He and I wrote the article abutr the find. That was ADAM Wood.
Also interesting that three of your four “finds of the year” first appeared in Ripperologist. When handing out magazine laurels bear in mind that we do appeat every month, like clockwork, with around 100 pages each issue in full color featuring leading-edge articles about JtR as well as more off-beat, but entertaining material.
Had to get that plug in.

Sorry that should have read Adam Wood’s Lawende photograph.

Thanks for the feedback guys, lets hope 2009 has just as many, if not more exciting finds and revelations, I am aware of several areas of research by people not directly involved with the field, so I eagerly await their findings!!
Don’t mind you plugging “Ripperologist” at all Don!!

And thanks for your blogs over the year Mike. I ALWAYS read them. Usually too scared to reply in case one of the experts tells me off!

Don’t be silly Roger, it is a pleasure sharing my findings, they are for everyone regardless of their knowledge of the case. I am looking forward to 2009, especially meeting the Dawber family, which was always one of my goals!! All the best..Mike

Hi Mike
It’s a bit late but Happy New Year. I think you and possibly How need a prize just for being so prolific and interesting too. Thanks for the mention of my book by the way.
