Gopher name location

There are several utilities available on Gopher menus to help locate people and their electronic addresses. I searched for Scott Kim and for Bruce"Tog" Tognazzini's address with no success. I tried the Netfind telnet connection, and an X.500 `power search,' the database of Usenet News contributors, and several campus `CWIS's, all to no avail. My only success story is that I located the address of a childhood friend, who is now a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard--we've been exchanging email all week!
