    Hi,

    I am trying to contact members of Pest Infested. We were good friends in 1970 when I was in Singapore.

    If you can get this message to any of them please ask them to E-mail _____. This message is from Martin Mitchell.

    I lost contact when Singapore telephone numbers were changed.

    I have something they might be interested in.

    I still remember the Pests Infested from our time with the British Army. We used to go to gigs with them . Still remember Johnnie Ali and the boys with great affection
