Hi Diarmid,
I tried
www.canada411.com website and there does not seem to be a
Patrick
MacCulloch listed in Toronto
Is the Robert Campbell the one you wrote about in the Journal a few
years
back or the Campbell who was a
fur trader in the Yukon? The later had a book written about his
exploits
albeit not that exciting.
Talkatchlater, Bruce
