Maybe Glyn can help on this one. I remember the Padre in Lemgo was unfortuately killed in a helicopter crash was that the same Padre as you mention Glyn? I remeber this because we were due to christen my daughter and of course it was put on hold following that terrible accident.

Padre was Trevor Martin. I was on BATUS staff at time and remember the incident all too well including of course Louis' death. A very sad time for all.
