Hello, I was a friend of Dr Yupar Aung when she lived in Swindon, doing her clinical observer work. I was working as a nurse in the same hospital, and I would love to make contact with her again. I recognised her instantly in one of the photographs, and it brought back many happy memories. Would it be possible to pass on my details to her? I am now living in New Zealand, my email is ladybogan@xtra.co.nz. Many thanks, yours sincerely, Sarah Edmonds
