Found after Lost in Time

IT seems long lost relatives and friends are coming out of the woodwork en masse.
Firstly a couple of months back a younger brother who I never met but sadly deceased, also his daughter my beautiful new niece Bronwyn, whom I am hoping to meet soon, however this will depend on me being able to travel to the U/K with a clean bill of health.
The new arrival on the scene is a lady named Sharina who rediscovered me by typing in her fathers name on Google and subsequently arriving at my recent post dated 11-1-2010. Where I had posted information and pics going back over half a century.

Hello Sharina. What a lovely surprise to hear from you. My wife Rosemary 75 was delighted too, she would remember you as a five year old there were a lot of Brothers and sisters around 1953. It was at your sister Zahorar's wedding in 1960,I had my Photo taken with the bride and groom, She was very beautiful, and you were a budding eleven year old and pretty too if I remember correctly.
Sharina. You should be very proud of your dear father, we loved him as a good friend and he has always been revered by us for all time. I still have some of his letters, such beautiful handwriting, and this morning early my wife showed me the broach your father gave her in 1954, her initials RJB in gold letters..
Today we have been busy, Rosemary had day surgery in the local hospital, and all is well.
For the past hour or so my server has been down, so I shall copy and return soon.
It is now late in the day, so I shall return in the near future. Vest.

Mr vest, how many places have you been to in this world. every time some place is spoken about youve been there.

Wally: I Dunno, haven't counted lately, must be heaps - some places many times.
Wally why dont you buy my book you tight wad and find out, and before you ask; being an aborigine a fifty per cent Govt subsidy doesn't apply mate, in your own admission you say you are a plumber and charge like a wounded bull. So cough up, or I shall tell your mother you are earning more than you tell her.
E mail me for details.

I suppose I could work on your request but it will not be forthcoming too soon.

What a fantastic story, Sharina sounds like a lovely lady and is obviously as delighted as you are to find this connection between you and Auntie Rose and her dear father.
Imagine how surprised she must have been to see those old pics you posted.
So pleased to hear all went well at the hospital with Auntie Rose, love and hugs to you both. xx and Chris too of course.x

So if you are out there Sharina or the youngest daughter of Abdul Karim please get back to me and with your correct contact details. thanks.

Dear Vest,

Here is Sharina the first AK's daughter that contacted you. I have recieved your personal email to me and will write to you soon. My youngest sister Rina is living in S'pore and would love to contact you through FB so that she can tell her children and grandchildren about our father. Since you don't have an account in FB, I will send you her personal email to you. We would like to have a contact with you and Rosemary through emails from now on. Our family are large and some are also in the US and we will be meeting soon for a family reunion in July. Love you and Rosemary in memory of my father.
