FOLLOWING my success in reuniting a couple of long lost footballing friends a couple of weeks ago I've been asked to find a Leigh girl who hit the hippie trail with a pal in the 60s.

Sheila Hamer lived in Noble Street, Leigh, in 1964 when she and Maureen Wyatt, of Dakins Road, Leigh, set off for a new life working in hotels in Torquay.

Now Sheila is hoping to trace Maureen who returned to Leigh in the late 70s/early 80s and is believed to live in the Holden Road area. She had a brother John and sisters Carol and Pat and a daughter Tracey Sheila, who is now Sheila Montgomery, and has sons David and John born in the 60s, stayed in the south west and lives in Tiverton, Devon.

If anyone knows of Maureen's whereabouts Sheila can be contacted on 01884 243268.
