A pensioner has distributed 10,000 leaflets in the search
for an old flame so that he can leave her all his money
when he
dies.
Herbert Riley, 83, has not spoken to his former dancing
partner, Reeni, for 55 years.
Unfortunately he never knew her surname.
He fell in love with Reeni when she was just 20 and he
was 24. The pair met at a Stockport dance hall in 1955.
They danced together four times a week and visited the
Stockport Town Hall ballroom once a week.
Mr Riley lived in Davenport, while Reeni was from Brinksway.
But after a four-year relationship, Reeni suddenly
married another man she had known for only six weeks.
The former engineer married Margaret but she died from
leukaemia in 1963.
Mr Riley, of Longsight, saw Reeni fleetingly working in
Hobson’s Choice bakery in Reddish in the late 1980s.
But the pair didn’t speak. He now longs to see her
again.
