I WAS wondering if through your newspaper you could help find a childhood friend of mine. Her name when I knew her was Susan Evans, she would be around 50 years of age now. I emigrated with my parents when I was 10, and over the years we kept in touch but lost contact sometime in the 1980s. Susan made contact with me again in about 1996 but I lost her contact address and didn’t communicate. We went to school together in Hagley (she was a couple of years older than me) in the 1960s and lived in Lodge Crescent, Hagley. She was one of four in the family, with a twin sister. I would dearly like to contact her again, so wondered if through your newspaper you could do something for me. It may be a longshot, as she may not even be living in the area, but someone in her family may recognize her name and it might lead to something – who knows.

My maiden name was Susan Beardsmore (now McKee) and I can be contacted at suemckee2001@yahoo.com or 203 Mandeville Road, RD 2 Kaiapoi, North Canterbury, New Zealand.

Regards
Sue McKee
