A

A brother and a sister have been reunited (重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the

Welwynand Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet

again.

Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when

John was still a baby.

The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts (下落).

The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.

John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.

“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper,” he said. “It’s like a dream that comes true. The last time

we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right.My

sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”

Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr Hannant decided to take action.

He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her

husband Jack Cooke.

Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John

said, “It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” AS well as finding his

sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

As summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way

to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person,

but I have found that takingthe risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very

rewarding experience.

Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer.

Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in upstate

New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instill (灌输) a sense of appreciation

for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe(敬畏) of

the geological influences that shaped the canyon.

Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering

in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with

family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor

adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When

I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and

nature around me.

Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore

and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.

When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist,

and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.
