A Golden coincidence

Back in the UK, Rob's cousin Lisa attended a celebration event where she met one of the GB Olympic hockey (Gold Medal) players, Sam Quek.  Unbeknown to Lisa, Mandy's niece, Tanith, was also at the same event. We found this only because they both separately posted on Facebook.

After reading their posts we contacted them via Facebook to tell them both that they were in the same room, they soon found each other....the wonders of modern Technology.
