Can Rootschat members help? - Lost Teddy Bear 'Seeks' Owner

[sarah]

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to RootsChat

Thank you ever so much for your kind words. The lost bear story really captivated the hearts of many here on RootsChat, and we all did what we do best which is bringing all our thoughts and findings together to try and get a result - however remote it seemed.

It has been a really big human interest story, on many levels. The living owner of the missing bear, the story of the family of the boy and girl in the photograph, the father who lost his life in the Great war (this photograph came back in his belongings) , and indeed the story of how a group of people on RootsChat pull together.

We've sent a little personal message to you, so hopefully we may still have this story in print.

All the very best and thank you again,
Sarah

Hi Sarah and a warm Rootschat welcome from me too.
We need to hear from Nicholas Glyn Baker and learn whether he was reunited with his bear...it's been a long journey of discovery for us all... and that would conclude the story which at the moment still feels incomplete....Here's hoping

If you hear back from Nicholas Glyn Baker (and preferably get a photograph of him with the bear) that would make a great conclusion and give me an excuse to feature the story a few months after the puzzle was solved. Has anyone got a contact at Bristol airport who has been dealing with this? Perhaps I can get in touch with them?

Hi Sarah,

It would be fantastic to see a photograph of the Bear back with his owner

Will send you some contact details by PM,

Regards

Hi Sarah & welcome to RootsChat 
I'm an avid reader of your magazine so hope an article can be realised.  It really would be the icing on the cake plus the cherry on top

Hi Jane, I've been in touch with Bristol Airport and they haven't returned the teddy bear yet (which means we're not too late for the story) however they also said that Mr Baker had mentioned that he didn't want any media coverage. Anyway, I've asked them to think of us when they do eventually return the bear and she said she would put in a good word for us with Mr Baker (after all, I hardly think we count as 'media' in the sense he might be thinking - no paparazzi here!).

Fingers crossed and thank you for welcoming me onto RootsChat.

Hi Folks,

Just wondered if there had been a "reunion" yet? 

Re Sarah (WDYTYA Editor), I think a mention of the story highlighting various routes (from start to finish) to come to the conclusion can only be good & name of person who owns Teddy doesn't need to be mentioned.

This would show people that genealogy is like forensics......every scrap of evidence is important no matter how little they think it is as they threads sew the trail
