My name is Carin Åkesson and I live in Sweden. I might have a very odd request, but I just found the name “Mary Alice Knecht” in one of your articles, an online article from May 22, 2011.

I am looking for this woman, since she and my mother went in the same high school in Sweden when Mary Alice was an exchange student here. And this is exactly what your article is about and they took their exam together 50 years ago this year. My mother has contacted all the students in their class and put together a reunion.

Is there any way you might know how I can find Mary Alice Knecht today? My mother doesnt know if she is married and has changed her family name for this reason since Knecht was her maiden name.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if they would be able to come in contact again thanks to your article?
