Hi there
Pete & Madge (aka Marguerite) Owen were good friends of my parents from the mid 60s and all through the 70s. Pete Owen was in the REME and spent time in Soest and Fallingbostel in the 70s and 80s. They had two children, Calvin and Corrine, and Madge Owen ran the Sixth Sense newspaper. We visited them several times in Germany, the last occasion being Christmas 1980, and I have completely lost touch with them since then.
Both of my parents have passed away, my mother when i was quite young, and as Pete & Madge were good friends of theirs I'd love to get in touch to hear stories about my parents from when they all hung out together when they were in their teens and early twenties.
The last info I had was that they were possibly living in Clitheroe in Lancashire. I've been in New Zealand for the last 20 years, but I'm hoping to visit the UK in the next year or two.
If anyone knows how to get in touch with them, I'd love to hear from them.

Sean,
Surname is missing here. Please send it to me by the PM.
My Army mate came from Clitheroe. He lives in Burnley now! I can ask him for you.
I was at Falli in the late 1960's at 7 Arm'd.
