Susan Gair, 104, of Glasgow, and her brother William, 86, the last surviving siblings, were reunited after 60 years apart, when William's daughter found an article about Susan's 100th birthday.
Practice puzzle. It does not touch your streak or today's stats.
Kept 'Susan' or 'William'? Their names, and the strongest wrong words in the sentence: true, but the story is what happened to them, not who they are. Kept '104' or '86'? How old they are, which is why the reunion is news, but not the news. Kept 'Glasgow'? Where she lives. Kept 'daughter' or 'article'? How it happened. The five say what happened. This one really happened. Susan Gair was born in Bishopbriggs in 1922, worked in a munitions factory, married Charles, whom she met at the dancing, and has lived in Pollok, Glasgow, for most of her life. Her brother William moved to London about 60 years ago and the two gradually lost touch. This year William's daughter, Liz, researching the family tree, found a Glasgow Live article about Susan's 100th birthday and wrote to Susan's granddaughter, Lynsey. On 30 August, weeks after Susan turned 104, the two families met in Leeds, halfway between Glasgow and London, for a Sunday roast at The Botanist. 'It was overwhelming, but a lovely day,' Susan said. Lynsey: 'After just a few minutes they were joking and laughing away.' They plan to FaceTime and make the lunch an annual thing. Glasgow Live, 14 October.
