Good to have you back, Dirk.
Thanks for the titbits about the Valentine family. I dont think they are
part of my group.
The Valentines I had were Kathleen and Stanmore. Could have been Stnmore's
relations.
The mention of the Bushnells there was about pre war.
Curiously we used to live on Lonely Mine.Also pre WW2. My dad was
secretary. I went to school there till it was time to get into high school.
Cheers.
Pat
