Hi,
		This is a message I have been intending to send for 
quite qa  while but got hung up in the press of other distractions.
	A long time ago Helen used to dance and teach in London 
and is southerly environs.
	In those days of 'Steam' computers and punch-cards Helen 
instigated the indexing of dances on these cards by type, book 
reference, deviser, and content and which she originally used to 
carry round in a small suitcase.    
	I understand that Keith Napier used some of her initial data 
to kick-start his index which has led onward and upward!. (Do I have 
that right, Keith?)
	The point of all this rambling is that I mentioned her name to 
a certain editor I wot of and he asked if there was any news of her?
	I believe she was dancing in the Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire 
area some years ago.  
	Is there anyone who can give better history/news of her?
