NO LYNNE !! please don't think that !!

After all the running around poor you did - to get them all the correct information ... giving them the photos etc etc .....

It's the Echo I'm disappointed in ..... I probably shouldn't have said anything ... but I feel so passionate about "Our Robert " ..... I wanted him to have a fair shake so to speak !!

And of course after all those years of Michel looking and waiting to find "our Roberts " relatives with such care and attention  

You have been terrific and I appreciate everything you have done !

Lynne & All

How wonderful - Robert will be grinning from ear to ear, you've all done him proud!

Some things are so worth waiting for.

Good picture too.

Annie,

I'm sure the Echo will do a follow-up when the stone is re-erected, a chance then for those RootsChatters who can attend, to give us a plug   ;D.  Maybe even local TV news?  ;)

Seeing the story in print brings a lump to the throat.

Hi all just to let you know that my thoughtful husband didn't get the expected phone call as the Echo chap didn't ring MissM. So before he left Liverpool he went in a paper shop, had a look found the story and bought another 7 papers for you all. So if you would like one just send your link to one of us and it will be in the post. I know MissM has got some and clemetised has too. Any others just send your postal address for a copy.
