I have a brother 9 years younger than me & whom I haven't had an contact with for 0ver 40 years. I was writing t him when he was in Vietnam but his last letter said don't write to this address as I am going back to NZ (he was in the NZ army) & I'm not sure if I will sign on for another 3 years. That was the last I heard from him. I met Keith & my surname changed & we moved away from Cairns. Over the years I have made lots of effort to find him. Tried the Salvation Army & talked to some of his army buddies.
Well thanks to one of the army guys, last week my brother has been located. He now lives in Thailand. (In March I was in Thailand but didn't know then). WE have spoken on the phone & I have written to him. We will just have to see what happens now. I am so excited I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Will let you al know what develops.
