What a lovely thread. Think there's been a similar one recently. At my girls grammar school in about 1960/61 we were randomly given the names and addresses of pupils at a mixed grammar school in Arras in northern France. Half of us got boys, of course. We exchanged letters half in French and half in English til he left school and I continued writing every now and then in French. I had the opportunity to visit him and his parents in 1966. Then he met and married his wife in the same year DH and I married. We holidayed in Paris and went to see them. All four of us got on and the friendship grew so much so that I was invited to be godmother to their youngest daughter. We spent many happy camping holidays with them when our DDs were young. Latterly we've been having long weekends with then every other year. Sadly he died last year when DH was recovering from surgery. DH was too ill to travel and I couldn't leave him so we didn't get to see him before he died. Thanks to a lift from his niece who is married to an Englishman, we were able to attend his funeral. He was such a lovely man, a privilege to have known him and his lovely wife and family.
