This picture was taken at Ann Dixon's birthday party at our FCC house in Amachay. Paul Dixon is furthest right boy and Ann is holding Nesta our dog. Next to her is my other sister Jill who had a leg in plaster, but it doesn't show.

I recognise some of the people, such as Valerie and Julian Higgs as well as the Oueis but that is about it.

Al Heckle gave me this list of names:

Monica Williams, Nancy Ouei, Julian Hickford, Monica's sister??, Bruce Westby ??, Jim McKay, Bev Saunders, John Darcy behind Bev, Bonnie Hietzenroder, John McKay behind Bonnie, girl next to Bonnie (??), Randy Westby, you, next girl (??). Front row: Valerie Higgs, Jill, Ann, Ian Ouei.

I'd really love to get a full list if anyone can help.

We are trying to contact Nancy Ouei a classmate at San Silvestre prom of 1960. We are planning a reunion in 2010. I wondered if the Nancy Ouei in your photo is the same person and if you know how to contact her please?

Does anyone know where Monica or Anna Marie Williams might be? They left La Oroya in or around 1957 or 1958.


RECONNAISSANCE

Pinning down the relevant people-points,
One contact leading to three, to fifteen, seventy ...
Is less the leisurely gathering of a bouquet
Than the grasping at leaves in a gale -
At that whirlwind mosaic of scattered lives -
In an effort to connect them to an original tree
When only the ghost of it remains.
But, seeking anew the comfort of those shadow-branches,
We grace them with the qualities of our metamorphosis.
Achievement and deadwood have added their layers
To the bilingual and carefree children
Who played against the backdrop of the Andes
And knew it later for a privileged kingdom.
