Hello David, what a fabulous surprise! I will be in touch soon. Ciao,ciao. Marlene
ReplyDeleteHi Marlene, Great to hear from you. I have had the help of Mikey Sterne, John and Michele Shanahan, and John Paxton in writing about our fun times in the 1970's. I have also reconnected with Pat Myhill (GF of Paul Overton for awhile).
DeleteI would love to write to you by email and correct any of my stories, get new ones or just some information on how you are.
My email is: da_haigh@bigpond.net.au if you would like to write.
Hope to talk soon. All the best and keep well. David x
