Lisle Lost & Found

So far, anything we've posted on this web page is here because we first asked the question "Wouldn't it be cool if..."
Well, this is another one of those ideas! Wouldn't it be cool if you could find that old childhood friend or relative that you havn't seen or heard from in years?

Well, with so many former Lisle-ites visiting this page every day, we thought it would be neat to be able to post our name on the site and just maybe, that "lost" friend might see that we're looking for them?
Now admit it!!! This is great stuff!

If your interested, this is how it works. (We hope!)

Whether you are "searching" for someone OR "responding" to a search, fill out and submit a "LOST & FOUND" form. We will then post it below. If someone responds to your search, we will forward their email to you and you choose to contact them or not. Then let us know if you've found your person so we can "check it off" here on the site. And remember, your email address never appears on the site.
It's that simple! Good Luck!

Did I ever say "Thank you!"?
This is the person I was looking for and I am so grateful.
