■ I am trying to trace a long lost friend, Joe A. Buttigieg, who worked for Ralph M. Parsons in Brenford, London between 1970 and 1990. I worked there too.

He was a project manager in the petrochemical industry and I worked for him on an Iranian petrochemical project at Kan Kan and, also with him, I was the architect for the BP southern north sea headquarters at Dimlington. He was indeed wonderful to work for.

I wonder if he had retired back to Malta. He was one of the nicest people I have met.

Any pointers or contacts that might help would be nice. I may be contacted via ettinger@talktalk.net.
