I read about dear old Max Miller with great interest (February 5).

The recognition we who knew him want is two simple signs saying "Miller's Walk" on Brighton's lower seafront road - one at each end - with a picture of his Homburg above.

This would be better than a statue in some obscure building where no one will ever see it.

This is what Max would have wanted since he spent all his time down on the front.

When I knew him, he lived just along from us in Marine Parade.

The house was called "Maxholme", next to "Whaley House" (of the music hall duo Scott and Whaley).

We lived at 1 Charlotte Street and saw Max frequently walking to and from the Palace Pier.

Finally, why was there no mention of the theatre historian who knew Max for 28 years and has given away hundreds of tapes, photographs and information on him?

I mean, of course, Gordon Dean. He was the one who started it all and I have known him several years.
