Mike+,

Dear old Rennie Coates+ was initially my father's assistant at St. Peters.
He was an old Yorkshireman who had come to the US back in the 40s (I think).
I have very fond memories of him and his wife, Velma.

He must have been of a pretty advanced age when he went to Vero.  Vero, by
the way, was never really expected to take off!
