Hi Sylvia.........so nice to meet you.

Wow, I'm sure that Gemmee will be thrilled when she sees your message.

I think we all became very close to the 2 boys while we were searching for them....and we were all thrilled with the photos.

Welcome.........!!!!!!!

Syliva, did you know that your father had been sent to Canada as a child?

Attempted to attach a picture so you could all see who you were talking to, but the file was to big, shall have to find a smaller one.

It will be nice when I get to know who I'm talking to, this is all new to me and everyone is being so welcoming.

I must sound like I'm babbling but it seems so much to take in, so sorry for that, please bear with me.
