Any luck?
I went through all of my scanned files and could only find the enRoute audio/video IFE programming booklet from November 2006.
In any case, here it is if you want to take a look:

I don't recognize a handful of those partner companies, like Tilden. A quick google shows they were bought by National in 1996!
Regarding the Empress Lounge... which current MLLs occupy the former Empress Lounges? YVR Dom, YUL Dom I believe? What else?

He used to be a concierge for Canadian out of LHR back in the day. Ever watch the documentary TV series called Airport? 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_(TV_series)
He was also head AC concierge at LHR for awhile before being promoted to the manager concierges/VIPs international at AC.
Many of us here knew him or know him well. Very charismatic and lovely personality.
I am aware that many here know him much more than I do and probably maintain contact with him.
I remember seeing him randomly on a YYZLHR flight in J... he was flying back to LHR and apparently was seated right behind me and I didn't even notice until he came up to me to say hi.
I also have a picture of us at the AC First Dreamliner FIN delivery event at YYZ.

You guys should post more of your throwback stuff. The earliest stuff I have is from 2002-ish when I first made my journey out of the FOTSG-bird-nest and into the world of Flying Dragons and Bald Eagles.
