I thought I would start with a newspaper cutting that enabled Hardie, Bill and me to contact each other. However I cannot find the original article, so have had to scan a scan. The results are not very satisfactory, but can be enlarged . If I find the original I will reproduce it. The scan is from an album I created for my granddaughter, and included my complete history.
After the article appeared in the Hull Daily Mail, many people rang me , and John (ex aircraft apprentice) rang Bill Davies in Cardiff and gave him my telephone number. Bill rang me and gave me Hardie's address . After this I sent Hardie an audio tape that amongst other things explained what had happened to me. Unfortunately Hardie died shortly after I received his letter. I met Bill and his wife on two occasions, but last Christmas was sorry to be informed he had died in 2008.
The rest of the letter next.
