Chris Georgas, Bill's son, is working on a family history and wondered if anyone could help him track down the two statues from the family's theatre which are shown in this photo.

Rumour has it that these lovely plaster statues ended up at the OSCVI in Mr Parrott’s art class, but there the trail seems to end.

If anyone has any leads, we would be happy to pass them on.   [email protected]
