. . . AND FOUND
SIX months ago, Faye Weeden asked for help in searching for an old friend. She told us: ‘I went to Sutton High School in Surrey, and belonged to a five-girl friendship group. Four of us have managed to stay in touch, but we’d love to be reunited with the fifth. ‘I met Denise Haseler at junior school in 1957, and we became good friends. At senior school, we met Marion Partridge, Susan Pullan and Susan Ryan, and so we became the famous five! We played netball and rounders, worked hard and had a good education, allowing us to follow our dreams.
‘I trained as a nurse in London, and I believe Susan Ryan did too, but we lost contact with her.’ Alas, the outcome of the search is not a happy one. ‘We sadly learnt from her brother that Susan died in 2015,’ emails Faye. ‘We were very sorry to hear this, but shall certainly raise a glass to her at our next reunion.’
