Does anyone know where Jim McIntyre is these days? He was my forester at Bedgebury Pinetum back in the late 80's and I visited him once when he moved up to NRS in 1990. I have very fond memories of Jim as he was instrumental in my training and further progression to Uni. Be pleased to hear he's well and safe during these strange times.?!
