Hi folks.  Please help me find a lost friend.
Due to circumstances  I have lost contact with a person that I hold very dear in my heart and would love to re-establish communications with her.
(My address book was lost in a move).
A plea and a challenge.   The Small World Hypothesis says any one person can be found in a chain of 6 contacts.


My plea.

 

All I have is her married and maiden names and a photo.
The last time I talked to her she was living in Pickering Ont. (1994) and was displaying her woodworking crafts at local flea markets.

 

Her maiden name was Regina Pozniac (Reggie).
When I saw her in 1994 she was married to Dwight Collins who was in the process of taking a networking course.

The Progress.

Before March 4:  I have done numerous searches for phone numbers and email addresses. I have phoned all the ones I found.
March 4: Placed a message on the http://www.avondalecommunity.com and Durham Region forums http://www.showsdurhamregion.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3433#3433 Unfortunately after some 160 page views the moderator of the Avondale Forum saw fit to delete the original page so any links that were forwarded are no longer valid.
March 5: Designed this page and posted on the NO Brakes and Majic Bus racing forums http://www.majicbus.us/phpBB2/
http://www.no-brakes.com/forum/index.php
March 6: Searched out crafter's forums and posted http://forums.about.com/ab-artsandcraft/messages/?start=Start+Reading+%3E%3E
There have been some 195 views of this page but very few referrals from email links.
Most of the hits are coming from forum links.
March 7: Searched Ontario Crafter's suppliers and emailed owners.  
March 8: Posted a message on the Ontario Polish community's BBS.
Asked a good friend to post my message in his email sig file as he often forwards jokes and items of interest to a large group of friends. 		Thanks to Bill Hatfield, www.BadHatProductions.com email response is now running higher than the forum referrals.
March 9: Posted to MSN Ontario Woodworkers forum.

Sent email to Thompson art gallery in Owen Sound

http://smallworld.columbia.edu/ people are posing a challenge to test the Small World Hypothesis, the idea that any two people chosen at random from the world's population can be connected to each other through a short chain of friends: person A can get a message to person B by sending it to a friend, who then sends it to another friend, who then sends it to another friend, and so on, until it reaches B.  You may have heard of this idea being referred to by the phrase "Six Degrees of Separation" but the "six" is only a rough estimate.  It is not known what the average number of connections required to link any two people is or even whether it is always possible to do so.  Over the last 30 years and more, a number of experiments have tested the Small World Hypothesis but none of them have been conducted at the world scale and none of them have been conclusive. This experiment aims to authoritatively test the Small World Hypothesis using email to send messages, involving potentially hundreds of thousands of people from all around the world.
