or, if we are feeling charitable, perhaps she doesn't know how to get back to her thread, I will pm her and let her know

OK, but don't hold your breath.

Maybe she is expecting to get e-mail notification, or just hasn't been on the computer today!

i am very hurt anyone would say such a thing about me i have e mailed bernie himself to discuss exchanging our p.o.w pictures so i am genuine and i am so hurt this is very important to me to find out about this camp and i feel so let down, i am new to all this but feel i do not deserve being called this. maria

Hi Maria,

There's nothing wrong with being new to this site - think he's the one who got out of bed the wrong side!

Good luck with your searching; POW camps are not the nicest places on the planet to be finding relatives.

thank you janice for those kind words i have always replyed to bernie and so appreciated his help yet he called me that i dont deserve it and asked him to aplogise dont think he will mind you. i feel upset yet there are so many lovely people that are so willing to help. many thanks i now relise to always reply through general topics and not the other way! im new so learning AND FAST. all the best maria.

My apologies to Maria, (and you other ladies).

Grovel grovel grovel - I was wrong.


I did not realise you were new Maria and if you have eMailed me or replied on GR, then the messages got lost in cyber space, I have received nothing from you. When you made enquiries on Chat I answered and sent you a lot of info, I thought you had ignored me. Seems we have had major communication malfunctions.

Once again, grovel, grovel, bow my head, sorry sorry sorry.
Please forgive, I am willing to help anyone.

Bernie
