Visitors sent a postcard to "The Friendly Staff" at Perot Post Office, Hamilton in search of two young local girls they met while on vacation.

Cousins J-hordon Emory, 6, and Jokiah Richardson, 8, posed for a photograph on the beach at Admiralty House.

The girls were having a summer camp play day at the beach last August.

Kristy and Craig Holch took photographs of the girls and some of their friends but forgot to get their addresses.

The Holchs, from Old Lyme, Connecticut laminated one of the photographs onto a postcard and mailed it in hopes that it would reach the girls.

"This shot was so good I wished I could give it to them, but I never got their addresses" said Ms Holch.

On the back of the postcard it read: "If anyone in your office happens to know these girls (small chance out of 60,000 people) maybe you could pass this along and tell them hello!

"If not perhaps you could stick it on your wall for a few days and be cheered by their smiling faces."

The staff at the Post Office hung it up for people to see.

"A parent from J-hordon's school recognised her in the photograph and took the postcard to her," said J-hordon's mother, Derenika Emery.

J-hordon is a student at Saltus Grammar School and Jokiah is a student at West Pembroke Primary.

The Holchs said in the postcard how much they enjoyed their stay in Bermuda and they look forward to returning.

The girls plan to write a thank you letter to the Holchs.
