@SSheil Hmmm, as tempting as it is for the historian in me, I probably don’t need two copies. Hope you’re keeping well! Coming to Abertoir?

[WelshCinemaMemories @WelshCinemaProj]

@SSheil I just noticed that! How much are they asking for a copy?

[WelshCinemaMemories @WelshCinemaProj]

@SSheil Hi Steven - wow, great find! I actually have a copy, but thank you for thinking of me and my work!
