SEARCHING FOR LONG LOST LOVE

Post by BUCKAROO » Sun Jul 15, 2007 5:56 pm

GREETINGS FROM THE UNITED STATES .

I am submitting this this letter with the hope that you might be able to help me locate a dear young lady or members of her family who I met in 1955 - 1956 in Villefranche sur-mur France .

Her name is / was JOY, HER ADDRESS WAS ,


At the time I was a member of the U.S. navy on board the U.S.S Des Moines .…..we met on a small beach at villefranche and spent many quiet peaceful afternoons together enjoying the seaside and each others company …. We did not have a love affair although I was very fond of this lovely Scottish girl , a real beauty to be proud of .

We had to leave port for a while and when we returned I tried to locate my friend JOY …. I was told that her father had passed away and she had returned to Glasgow, as I recall , he was a carpeting merchant .

Over these past fifty years I have often wondered about JOY , her life her family etc… I can never forget the good times we had together and I would like to know that she has had a good and full life , she has been and will always be very dear and special to me and above all a great and special friend..

I am sure that my days are growing short and it would mean a great deal to me if I could contact her or her family in order to renew our friendship even if only by email or other means , or at least learn her destiny .

Would you please be able to publish this letter in the hope that my dear friend JOY or a family member might see it and contact me ? I will be forever in your debt and you will have my eternal thanks .

Thank you in advance for your kind attention and hopefully your assistance ,,,, you will make this old man very happy and even more so should I be able to contact my dear friend of 50 years past .

VERY SINCERELY :

RONALD

Hi Bucharoo:

Welcome to TalkingScot.

The general convention when posting family trees on the WWW is to avoid posting information that relates to living persons.

http://talkingscot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6601

From time to time questions are posted on Talking Scot which deal with persons who were born, married or died not so long ago. We regret that we cannot help with queries about any persons who might still be living. There are several good reasons for this, not least our desire to respect the privacy of living persons.

Please use the cut-off dates used by Scotlands People as a guideline:
» Births up 1905
» Marriages up to 1930
» Deaths up to 1955
- regardless of country.

We are aware that many indices for other countries, England for example, have much more recent events available on line. Anyone can pay to look up these indices, but we would prefer that details of any person who might still be living are not posted publicly on the forum.

Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter.
