I got to give this to Bill as a great result in a very short time.
I always envy Glyn and his ability to find an obscure name, take a chance and find it in the phone book. Well envy no more.
I opened an email from Anzac House at 4.05 pm with the brief message:
'Hi Bill....this medal was found in the Seymour car park .... could you please assist returning it to the owner?'
Five minutes later I found 'the owner', the only problem was that it took until 7.00pm to finally contact him. Yes I know it is not a record but after some searches of late, I consider it a reward for perseverance.
At the request of the owner I'll keep the details brief other than to say he was quite surprised and somewhat disbelieving when I rang as he assured me it was safely in his coat pocket where it had been on Anzac Day.
The returned medal tally is now 1695.
Always good to see the 'boss' being pipped :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Bill.
