No, Henning, 
but they both came from near my home town, Leeds. 
HS played cricket for Pudsey (where I grew up) St Lawrence, as did Len 
Hutton, Edgar Oldroyd, Eddie Leadbeater, 
Major Booth, Phil Carrick, Ashley Metcalfe, Hutton?s son Richard, Steven 
Rhodes, James Dracup, Chris Gott, 
Peter Graham, Adrian Rooke and current captain Iain Priestley.

And they both went to Whitby, FMS went there and stayed , HS went there on 
holiday 
(as did Bram Stoker and Lewis Carroll - and Frauke and I will be there again 
for three weeks
in Aug/Sept  too)
Cheers
Douglas
