I have been emailing, or writing, to somebody from Coaltownship, PA, for a few years. For the past while I have been getting error messages when emailing them. Now, I know their name, their street, town, state, even the zip, but I also know that they have moved to a new location. As we were emailing each other at this stage, I have never bene given that new postal address (or wanted it, for that matter). All I can hope is that they either eventually email me, or that somebody knows/ knew of them, and can ask them to contact me. (should they wish to do so- who knows why they stopped emailing me? Not me!) Being careful to avoid too much detail, I will say early 20's, surname of Weikel, living in Coaltownship PA before moving to a new address sometime in 2002.
