CHRISTMAS will be a painful time for Sally Perrin - unless she finds her missing soldier son. The last time she saw Blake Hartley was in August when he left for a trip to the French ski resort of Chamonix to celebrate his 25th birthday with friends.

Mr Hartley was convinced it was the wrong campsite and went off on his own. Mr Hartley has two sisters Stephanie, 15, and Maria, 27, an ecologist, a stepsister Nina, 27, a wedding organiser, and a stepbrother Alex, 29, a horticulturalist. Lt Col Gerard Escolano, from the gendarmerie at Chamonix, said: \"We would be delighted if he turned up safe and sound.

In the Abraham Goodman House Tuesday night, the organization gave its final concert of the season under the heading ''Six Decades, 1922-82.''
