I would like to thank the Packet for printing my letter, which asked for help in finding Violet Povers’ family who lived in Flushing.

I received phone calls from a very kind gentleman who didn’t leave his name, but was 89-years-old and knew the people I was searching for. He then contacted a lady in Flushing who put me in touch with my cousin.

Also a lady named Jane Benge sent me two wonderful old photos of Flushing swimming club from the 1920s. These photos have my cousins’ parents in them, so I will pass them on.

Thanks again to all who helped I am very grateful and I am waiting excitedly for some photos to arrive from Flushing.
