Research volunteers

I am an Air Force wife and am currently doing my doctorate of clinical psychology. For my research I am looking into the factors that can help children to adjust after a move. I am looking for families with children aged 8-12 (classes 3-6) who have moved in the past year. Participants would be sent some questionnaires in the mail with a replypaid envelope. It would take about half an hour to fill out the questionnaires. Anyone interested can contact Christine McLeod by email at mcleodc@wahs.nsw.gov.au.

Lost uncle

I am looking for my uncle Christopher Quinn. I have just been told today that he was in the Air Force and more than likely still is. He has a sister named Agnes and he is Irish, about 53 years old. I am his niece, Julie Quinn, from England. Please contact me by email at phoo63@hotmail.com.

Old mates

I’m trying to contact my old RAAF buddies, who I worked with in Iwakuni, Japan, during the Korean conflict. I was an RAF photographer with the Far East Flying Boat Wing, based at RAF Seletar in Singapore. I don’t know their service numbers, all I remember them by is their ranks and names. They are Corporal Bell and Sergeant McGuinn. Both were RAAF photographers. Please contact Harry Dobkin by email at hado.dobkin@virgin.net.
