Comments : This maybe a bit strange but i am looking for Ben, Will and Nick Smith. They were at my school and Ben and Will were my classmates. Their parents worked on the base. This was around 1991 and 1993. I thought they were such nice boys and I would like to know how they are doing right now. They are probably in their twenties now. I am also looking for two younger persons who would be round 19-21. It is a boy and a girl. Her name is Soncheree and his name is Jeremy. They were afroamerican and my younger sister was friends with them. I know for sure that she would like to get in touch with them to. So if anyone has any idea how to get in touch with them i would really like to hear from them. It's a long shot I know. But it is worth a try.   Greetings, Angela
