Wensley resident, Surtag Hack, was found by an old friend through a story on the Messenger website.
Carol Fardoe was looking for Ms Hack after they lost touch over 40 years ago. “I knew Surtag in Yemen in the early 1960s when I was about 12 years old. Even after we left we stayed in touch and saw each other in London. We lost touch but I had always wanted to contact Surtag again. I saw her story on the Messenger website, so I looked up her address and wrote her a letter.”
Ms Hack told the Messenger, “I was overjoyed to receive a letter from Carol, including old photos of us both, and recent ones of her family. Carol remembered each one of our family. When we were teenagers in Yemen we would go to each other’s houses, we made smoothies and we had a little club. Thanks so much to the Messenger for bringing us together after all these years.”
