Cathy:

Saw your post. Checked and found that "Zephyr Stowaway" had not visited the site since his last post here. I did send him an email, but he did not list his email address in his profile, only a click here to send an email to him box. Don't think I could do more than I have. Best of luck to you.

Hello,
I believe I might have contacted you before. But I am a former Zephyrette looking for other former Z. After reading your blog I wondered if your sister might still be alive. We had our first Z reunion in June 2011 and plan to have another one in 2013. It would be great if we could contact her and she could join us. Also I would like very much to correspond with you regarding being a Z in the future. I will await your response. Cathy Moran ....now Cathy von Ibsch


Cathy:

I have sent you an Email.

My sister is living in VA. She will soon be 76 years old.

FYI, George, no one's email address is visible to any one other than the Admins. A member can choose if they wish to get emails, in which case you get the form you got to send an email to that member. If the member chooses to reply, then and only then will you see the actual email address. This is done to protect members from having their email addresses hijacked by spammers who might break through our other defenses and manage to become a member.

If a member chooses not to receive emails, then you won't be able to send anything to them other than a Personal Message.

And in this case it seems like you were successful at potentially bringing two Zeperettes together! :)
Alan,

Take care and take trains!

That is fantastic.

Tom, if you click on the "Watch Topic" button at the top of this page, you can set the board to send you an email any time there is activity on this thread. That way if someone else comes along, you'll know about it right away.

Alan: Yes, I understand and very much appreociate. Tom came back with an answer to me within a few hours of my email to him. It was really a shot in the dark, hoping that it would have positive results. I knew that as a guest Cathy would not be able to do it. Happy to see this going forward. (Putting this in the thread instead of a PM because I think there are a few others interested in what is happening here.)

George and anyone else interested:

My sister was thrilled to have been put in touch with another ex-Zephyrette. She says she plans to make the 2013 reunion that Cathy is planning. The Zephyrettes are allowed to invite one person to attend the reunion with them and Sis invited me. I do believe I will try to make the trip. Maybe we can go by train and Sis can sneak me aboard again. :)

Thanks again, George.
