This has such an incredible story to it. I used to get the Sunday Mail delivered but one morning I got the Sunday Post by mistake. I don't particularly like the Post as I always saw it as an old person's paper. Anyway, I started reading it and while looking at the letters page I came across the letter below and a black & white version of this picture. I was stunned. Here was a girl that I had not seen for 20 years and who was my first girlfriend at college (lasted 4 long days !!). Talk about fate. There was a contact number for her brother who still lived in Eastriggs (South Scotland beside the Solway Firth) so I phoned him up, explained who I was and my connections with Sharon and told him that I could restore the photo. That day I got a phone call from Sharon in Germany and after talking about the old times she said that she would e-mail the photo . It was very hard work and it is not 100% perfect especially across Sharon's eyes but that area was so badly damaged it was difficult to get it looking realistic. I met Sharon and her husband Wilfried a couple of months later in Edinburgh where I presented her with the framed print (that is why the image is oval). She was a bit emotional but she loved it and it hangs up in The Braveheart Inn (their little pub) in Germany. We have kept in touch and through Sharon I got in touch with another long lost friend. However, I still don't get the Sunday Post.
