Searching for an old friend

**Lori Burton** · 09-16-2007

Hi there!

What's "GR"?

I'm not going to get too excited, I know that "David Bright" is a common-ish name, and there may well be several in the area.. but I *am* excited that you took the time to help, and I thank you so much for your efforts, even if they don't result in finding the David I seek.

You're a doll!

Karen-

Hi again- I think it's the middle of the night on your side of this big pond, but here it's naptime for the rugrats, so I'm online!

I was wondering, besides the geneology site, are there other big reunion type sites in the UK that don't charge? Here in the US, we have several, but of course, they're of no use to me!

I tried "Friends Reunited", but of course they charge like $20 to send a note once you've accessed the profiles. I'll never use this option again, as I'm looking for no one else in the UK.

Any other thoughts? Thanks for helping me, I truly appreciate it!

Hi Karen-

Ah, Friends Reunited must be like our ClassMates. I was able to search for "David Bright" there, and I located several in the approximate age range, but when I sent a note, I got a "pop up" that said (basically) "Oh! You want us to deliver that? Well, THAT will cost ya!" hahahah!

I'd *love* it if one of your friends would send notes to the 'David Bright collection', but it seems a lot to ask...

I so appreciate your help on this..

No, I don't know if he lives in Merseyside, or, for that matter, where he might be.

His exwife told me he'd gone "back to Liverpool" and that's all I know. Not much to work on, I'm afraid!

Thanks for being so gracious!!

Hiya Lori .
It's under the heading "SCOUSERS ABROAD"
it gives your full name + maiden name , e mail addy, Calafornia USA.

Twenty years ago I had a friend called David Bright , At the time we both lived in Florida , but sadly life took us in different directions , a few years ago i ran into his ex girlfriend who informed me that he had moved back to Liverpool , I would love the help of the Echo & it's many readers .
David would be around 63yrs old now give or take a few yrs .

Hope you get some response Lori , if he's back in Liverpool someone must know him ,

Speak to you soon

now that my feet are back on the ground (ahem)

I'm almost positive David had a sister named Gillian, so I'd put money on this being the right guy.

Very exciting!

Do you have my email address already? Or do I need to send it to you? Obviously I'm not going to post it publically if I can avoid it!

I can't tell you how exciting this is. I'm really delighted. I haven't spoken to David in 20 years.

To you, my Dear, I send a HUGE HUG! This has been a cruddy week here (my Mom had major surgery, my inlaws are staying here- ugh. the list goes on) and you've totally brightened my life! Thank you immesureably for all you've done!

hug hug hug!!
Lori
