I am from Nova Scotia, Canada. When I was 11 years old, my family went to Florida. It was March of 1988 and we stayed at a hotel called THE GATEWAY INN in Orlando. While we were there, we met a family from Alabama. They were African American. I, unfortunately do not remember their last name, but this is what I do remember. There were 2 brothers, age 9 and 11. The 9 year old was Dan, the 11 year old was Eric. They also had a 13 year old cousin named Chris with them. We were friends for the entire vacation, but when it came time to leave, we did not exchange addresses. I have thought about them often over the last 11 years and would like to contact them. At the time I was 11, and my sister was 9. My name is Sarah, and hers is Laura. If any of this sounds familiar, please contact me. Thank you! How it changed my life:They were the first African-American friends my sister and I made. From their parents reaction, we were the first White friends they made. This thought has been with me for 11 years, and I would love the chance to become friends again.
