[talk.politics.misc] Frank Reed--appeal for information

adamsd@crash.UUCP (Adams Douglas) (09/30/86)

This month an educator named Frank Reed was abducted in Beirut. A
good friend of mine with no net access was a student of his when
he was a teacher in the United States. My friend cannot get any
information about his status from the State Department, not being
a relative, but is concerned about his welfare.
 
I thought that there might be someone out there--especially
across the Atlantic--who has heard more news details than I or my
friend has, or is knowledgeable enough about the Lebanon
situation to provide a reasonable set of ideas as to his possible
status, probable fate, or chances of his release.
 
I realize I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but since my
friend and I are in a complete information vacuum at this point,
anything that resembles useful information would help a great
deal.
 
Please send all replies by e-mail. If anyone else is interested
in the information I get for similar reasons I will provide them
with copies.
 
Thank you in advance.
