Hello Bonnie
Of course I remember you! I am mostly living in California and I think you may work with Marilyn Warnick, who is a friend from the days when I organised the Cheltenham Festival of Literature!? I am seeing Angela Bentley this weekend…

Hi Nicola ! Remember me?? I was reading the Mail on Sunday (which I work for) and there was your stepfather’s book extract… Have often wondered where you were, sometimes see odd bods from PHS and your name gets mentioned. Are you still in South London? Married/kids etc etc?? Would love to hear from you…. Love Bonnie x

Hi Nicola,
How wild that I stumbled upon this blog…I think David Wynne might have been the sculptor that mentored my father many years ago while he was on sabbatical in England. My father’s name is Richard Fowler. He apprenticed with a sculptor in England when he was on sabbatical living in the deanery of Ely Cathedral. My father is still living but suffering from an Alzheimer’s related disease and he no longer is able to speak very much. I would love to hear any stories your stepfather might have of that time – if he in fact knew and/or remembers my dad.
Elisabeth

Hi Nicola,
How amazing that you should stumble across this article after almost a year, and be able to help Philip get in touch with your stepfather! Was this luck?

David Wynne is my stepfather and I will email Philip so he can get in touch with David. He lives in London and is still working aged 83.

Ed: Oddly enough I met David Wynne some years ago on a remote sisal farm in Tanzania. He is very good at playing the harmonica and entertained us well into the African night. But I never took his contact details.
Can anyone reading this help Philip?

Dear Sirs,
I have written a biography of Yehudi Menuhin.
David Wynne sculptured a bust of Menuhin with violin that is now located in the entrance lobby of the Yehudi Menuhin School in Surrey.
I have a photo of the bust and want to include it in my book.
I am anxious to obtain permission, but I do not know who holds the copyright to the photo.
Would you happen to know of a contact address for David?
Your help would be very much appreciated.
With thanks,
Philip Bailey

Eduardo Paolozzi’s Newton at the British Library is wonderful. And my childhood favourite was George Frampton’s Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens – especially the mice!
