I see this was posted in 2002 so I will be surprised if I get a response. I am trying to re-contact an old Upjohn company colleague Dr Rex Jacomb, possibly your uncle Rex Gordon.
I have an old email address of jacombs@onetel.net.uk which no longer seems to be valid.

An advance Thanks for your help
