Re: hI
hi, my birth mother, Sheila Ann Cooper, was on the Rangitane between June 63 and March 64, as was my adopted father Alistair Rae.
I have a photo of her with a man called Mick Savage taken in Tahiti. Both have now passed over. I was wondering if you remember a man called Francis Pater Thompson, known as Peter, who is my biological father....
Any information you may have on either of them will be greatly received as I am trying to find Mr Thompson....
thank you.

Re: hI
Hi there,
I know this is quite an old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone may happen to remember Ted/Edward Wilson, who sailed on Rangitane in 1963 and was either a steward or the ship's writer?
