Rosemary, I wonder if you remember me, I am Grahams Wigg´s wife, Marisol. We now live in Chile South America and will be visiting our children in Queensland early November. Would love to see you. If you get this e-mail please answer with your contact details so we can renew our friendship and perhaps you could visit us in Chile. Love Marisol.
