Lionel Billows (1909–2004) in Hall of Fame

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/al/research/collect/elt_archive/halloffame/billows/

This is not 'new' news, but I've been away from this blog for a while. Back in May I created pages for Lionel Billows (1909-2004) within the Archive website 'Hall of Fame', incorporating biographical details, along with a good photograph courtesy of Hans-Joachim Lechler. There are also links to further information on pages maintained by Professor Burkhard Leuschner, to a blog entry by Mark Andrews and associated personal reminiscence by Rod Bolitho, and to an unpublished account of 'A crash education programme - the Madras snowball' (uploaded on Prof. Leuschner's site).

Another candidate for induction into the Hall of Fame might be L.G. Alexander, author of New Concept English among many other books (I've just come across an interesting article in English Today (no. 78, 20/2, April 2004) describing a statue erected in his memory in Beijing.

Any other suggestions for candidates gratefully received!
