 I only know about Dwight via my Mother Joan Hickson nee Gaspar. My Mother absolutely adored her Dad. He was a solicitor 
in London with his own practice. I know when Dwight and Malcolm spent some time in Darjeeling as we have a silver cup of 
Dwight’s for a running race at school. Chris, what I and Nigel cannot figure out how Dwight and Malcolm were born in 
Edinburgh Scotland????? - received from Annie Scott Oct 2018
