Dear John,

I have been trying to find out some information regarding John Boyle who I
believe was landlord of Dixon Blazes pub in the 70s.  I have found your
e-mail address on the Old Glasgow Pubs website and hope you don't mind me
contacting you.

John Boyle was a friend of my husband's and I think he may have passed away
in 2006.  I was wondering if you would have any information or have any
ideas who would know?

My husband's friend John Boyle had children, Marion, he thinks, Andrew,
Peter, John and Paul Boyle.  He had a brother called Thomas.  He may have
lived in Maryland Street.  They lost touch many years ago and it would just
be nice to find out what has happened to him.

We are hoping you can help and look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Louise Mulloy
