RE: RE: Childrens Names.
Miss Wren was one of my teachers when I attended Lightburn School, Ulverston in 1939-42 as a student. I am sure that the photo was taken from the garden of Miss Wren's home of that period as I along with a two other schoolboys, were served cool drinks by Miss Wren. I distinctly remember the bike she rode daily to school but, for the life of me, I have difficulty in remembering her face. Terry Alderson Toronto

RE: RE: Children's Names.
Do you know anything about the life of Noel Wren? I saw something strange this weekend during a wedding one night and have been searching for clues. The girl in the boat looks very like the girl who I saw in our room on Thursday night! This was the first time I have seen anything ghost-like and I would like to find out who it was. Apparently there is a ghost at the hotel and it has only been seen by night porters in the older part of the hotel. The girl had bobbed blonde hair and was about 6-9 years old.
Thanks.
John
