FURTHER to my email letter of March 23, I am pleased to say that as a result of my letter being printed in the South Wales Argus, I have heard from three of your readers and I have now received the Newport High School Old Boys scarf and tie that I was seeking.

In addition, I have heard from someone with whom I had lost touch fifty years ago.

There is obviously something in the saying, ‘It pays to advertise’!

Thank you Argus.
