Hey, Where Are You?

p. 75 · Read in the full issue

Harriette A. Allan, 1921 Dole St, Honolulu 96822, has sent us the following letter; I had the pleasure of meeting PlM's edi tor about 18 months ago in Suva. I was the American lady who was babysitting boats at the Tradewinds Hotel and a writer when I wasn't being lazy.

During the time I was boat-sitting on a 41 ft yawl and then the SAYANDRA, I met people from all over the world who were sailing the South Pacific Basin. Many of them became good friends, with whom I have tried to keep in touch.

However, because I have moved around left Fiji to visit Australia and New Zea land, arriving in the States in February and back to Honolulu in March I have lost contact with some people. Knowing how PIM is so widely read, is it possible for you to put a "Hey, where are you?” in the magazine? Maybe someone who reads PIM would know where the following friends are: Phineas and Joana Sprague, on MARIAH. Reinhardt Heiber, on GANESH.

Dr Thomas Hodgins on GAY LUCILLE. (When I was in Whangarei, NZ, I heard a story that Tom had lost his boat but there were no details and it was very third-hand.) I am making my home in Honolulu I found I was so accustomed to island living I could not cope with the mainland.
