I'm looking for a specific manufacturer form the Cape Town area of
South Africa. This firm has as one of its principals, a man named
Mervin Blume (sp?).

Good morning mudlizard-ga!  I sent emails out yesterday to all the
shoe manufacturers in South AFrica near Cape Town and I got the one
reply I was hoping for:

My wife and I met this man on a train from Rome to Venice in April. I
promised to contact him when I got home but misplaced his email
address. Mr. Bloom is a gentleman in the truest since of the word. He
stood (along with us) for over 3 hours on a bad leg so that the ladies
could sit.

I am so happy I was able to find him so that you could contact him again! :)
