curious

I'm looking for related information. Planning to register, but while I am happening through here, I figured I would see if anybody knows anything about the following:

--Any further information about John So besides his testimony when excommunicated. He served in Europe. Any information about his past service, US locality, what happened to him afterwards, etc. Also he mentions digging tunnels in Taiwan. Anybody know what these were for?

--Found some information recently about Heckfield Place in UK. What is the deal with this place? Looks like it's still owned by LR, last managed through Amana Books (as far as I could tell) but it's been under construction forever.

Thanks.
