<DIV>My interest in the Cornish language dates from 1960. It has two
basic motivations:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1: Ancestral. I have Cornish ancestors on the male side, and
have relatives descended from Cornishmen.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2: A lifelong amateur interest in language.I w given, and devoured - a
copy of Frederick Bodmer's Loom of Language when I was 11 years old.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Apart from these, I am a bit of a fuss-pot about things being done right
(that's my Cornish grandfather), and getting the spelling of our language as
near dight as possible is a matter of great interest to me.</DIV>
