Hello Once again Barbara
It's the same Bill (Taffy) Lloyd that I mentioned in previous e-mails we
swapped (yours of 5.22.07) and who couldn't bring himself to propose to that
lassie he was struck on back in '43. I wondered if he might have got
married after being demobbed in '46 but looking at all the weddings that
took place in those days I guess it's pretty hopeless. Trouble is I don't
know anything else about him except his name. not even his RAF service
number.
I do have a good photograph of him, also one of us both together; suppose if
I could get some newspapers to do a "Where are they Now' episode those
pictures might do the trick.
Lost touch with my best man at Alda's wedding in 1944 and finally found him
via a newspaper in the town where he used to live, and his sister recognized
him from our wedding photos. He went back to Medicine Hat, Alberta after he
married in England and now lives on Vancouver Island. But I have no idea
where Taffy lived. Have tried Friends Reunited and also put his pic in "Dead
Fred" with no success. Of course the old chap could be long dead. If not
he's at least 88.
