Dear friends, around 60 years ago Elizabeth sent her daughter to my former wife’s pre-school playgroup in Horley ,Surrey. Janet Blackwell was in charge. Janet is still alive, but really struggling now at close on 87.I am close on 88 & have recently watched a programme about the bouncing bomb. If Elizabeth is still with us she may possible be interested in making a contact with either Janet or myself. Janet can no longer deal with any equipment for direct communication but I can just about manage! Details below.Incidentally I received this contact information from my son in Australia! I’d be glad of any information/contact. Best wishes, & thanks in advance. Brian blackwell.
