Bona tago Arty

mi ankau estis en la filmo "In other Words" en 1948, kaj mi ankau parolis nemultaj vortoj!

Hi Arty!
I can still remember some Esperanto, though not much. The film was shot in the boy's hall at Lymington Secondary, and I knew H. G. Toms quite well, and corresponded with him until he died quite some years ago in Bulgaria.

I probably have a photo of you in an Esperanto group about 1948/9 with Mr Toms.

Bona tago Ron !
Mi ne parolis Esperanto dum longa tempo sed me esperas ke vi komprenas tiu vortoj !
Like you,  I've forgotten most of what I learnt !
I wanted to send you a private message but note that it cannot be done until 3 messages are posted.  As you only have two so far, I'll just put these few words on here then can send you a longer private message when you have replied.  So much I have to say !   I just cannot believe that I've been in contact with someone from school from over 60 years ago let alone said a few words in a film as you did also !!  We must have been in the same class Ron because as far as I remember, it was only those of us in class 4a who were in the film ?  Talk about coincidence !!! So much I want to say Ron including re MrH Toms etc but would prefer writinG more in a private message which I think you'll agree is wise.  I'm wracking my brain to try and remember exactly who you are.  I must know you !!   As for a photo you might have well I just don't know what to say !  This is unbelievable ! Please post or preferably send me a personal message. We have so much to catch up on !
Gis la revido, cheers,

Hi Arty

you definitely should know me - after all, it is only 62 years since we left Lymington!
I shall scan the photo, though I don't know if I can send it by PM. I may have to post it on Rootsweb. There are 11 boys and Mr Toms on it. We look real deadbeats!  I think we went to Hengelo in Holland after Ipswich?

You cannot send attachments with Personal Messages (PM) but can exchange email addresses by PM and then exchange information. Since the photo mentioned seems to contain living people best done via email.

P.S. this is Rootchat not Rootsweb  ;)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
