Letters / Who knows about E.C. Stewart?

I am interested in E.C. Stewart, who with his wife ran a knitwear business in Lerwick just after the last war.

He was also editor of the Shetland Times, and of the Shetland Monthly magazine, which ran for two issues in 1947.

He suddenly left Shetland. Does anyone know where they went; and does anyone know what E.C. stood for?
