Gastines Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I read somewhere that within a contact wordwide of 7 people ,someone will know a mutual friend or relative. I have just had quite an amazing contact. 55 years ago I was in a Chest Clinic/Home in Ventnor ,Isle of Wight. A few days ago I had an e-mail from a chap in Sydney Australia saying he was there at the same time and got my e-mail from the St.Cath's site. I came from Bournemouth,he from Derby. When asking if I had any visitors while a patient ,I replied one from my eldest brother who was in the Grenadier Guards. I have just had a reply telling me that his brother was in the Guards at the same time and remembers my brother who went on to weapons training instructor at Pirbright, and was also in Germany with him..Quite a coincidence!!!Regards.
