Thank you

Dear E.M. Gregory,

Thank you for starting this page - I am delighted to have my own Wiki and appreciate everything you've done. I have gone back through my old scrapbooks, then searched online for the links, trying to stick to correctly published sources. There are dozens of school blog posts about my visits but I didn't include those - as these may not be the right sources for a Wiki page.

Hope this is useful and let me know if I can help further.

Hello IP from Falkirk, whoever you may be! ;-)

Thanks for posting your sources here, if there is useful stuff in them it will probably end up in the article sooner or later. Two things you can do if you like: I don't remember seeing your year of birth in any source I checked. I may have missed it, but if it was mentioned for example on this [1] page, we could use that (then again, it's not that important). Also, if you have a nice selfie you like to donate to the world so it can be used in this article, you can do so by starting here: [2]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:11, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
