A fantastic correspondent with over 16,000 detailed comments, it really bugs me that there is no communication from him! A very private person who would not wish any personal investigation, but after this time, I fear the worst, and feel authorities in Austria are the only source of information, as no-one here has his address or other particulars. A keen skier, does anyone have access to ski groups in Austria? I really admired his intense and dedicated contribution to our columns.
