Old friend: Nat Parmar Old friend: Nat Parmar

REUNITED colleagues have been

catching up after 45 years apart.

Nat Parmar, 76, of Reading,

Berkshire, worked with Fiona

Watts in the early Seventies at

Freightliners Ltd in Paddington,

West London.

‘Fiona worked with us for a

couple of years before leaving to

travel and work out what she

wanted to do with her life,’ wrote

Nat. ‘When I knew her, she was in

her late 20s or early 30s, tall and

beautiful, with a great sense of

humour and warmth.

‘Some of us who worked for

Freightliners meet occasionally

and we often wonder what

happened to Fiona.’ Nat has now

sent this update: ‘After the article

about my search was published,

Fiona contacted me through

Facebook and we met for lunch.

We reminisced about the old

days, which she remembered

clearly. We had lost contact

because she had married and

lived with her husband in San

Francisco for a few years.

‘I arranged a get together in a

local Chinese restaurant with

other former colleagues and

Fiona was very happy to see

us all after 45 years.

‘We all look forward to meeting

up again soon.’

‘I am writing a biography

of William mcKinney from

Belfast, who was a

chorister with D’Oyly

Carte Opera Company in

London from 1960 to 1963,’

writes Sam Boyd, 63, a

semi-retired butcher.

‘He would like to get in

touch with his old friend

John Snape, from

Lancashire, who was also a

chorister at that time.

‘William left D’Oyly Carte

to take up a scholarship at

the Royal academy of

music, where he studied

music, piano and operatic

singing under the tutorship

of Bruce Boyce, the

renowned Canadian

baritone. In 1966, William

was awarded a Vaughan

Williams Bursary to

study in Rome under

maestro Ricci.

‘The Eternal City became

William’s base for the next

34 years, as he sang all

over the world at famous

opera houses.

‘Now 82 and retired, he

lives in the seaside town

of Carrickfergus in

Northern Ireland, where

we are neighbours and

good friends.

‘He has told us many

wonderful stories of his life

as an opera singer.’
