I like all of the lost love eps. The one you mentioned about Duncan was very good. I also liked the one about the woman with polio who was searching for her childhood friend from junior high school. I also like the story about the lady, I think her name was Virginia, who was looking for her older half sister named Susan. It was very touching how she still had that doll that her father gave her so many years ago.

None would usually be my answer too, but I must admit some of them get to me. My favorite would be the story of Joan Gay Croft. She's the little girl who was lost in the aftermath of that devastating tornado. I think it was in the 1940's or 50's. Anyway the aunt saw her with her sister after the tornado and she was not badly injured. Then when the aunt went back later to check on the girls, Joan had disappeared. Her sister said two men had taken her and were going to bring her to another hospital but she was never seen again. Strange! The last article I could find about this case, she was never found, but some people had contacted the aunt and thought they could possibly be Joan and were going to do a dna test to see for certain.

I too loved the the segment with Judy Davis who had polio and was looking for her best friend from junior high, Becky. They had a nice reunion.

Another great one was the man who lost his leg fighting in Viet Nam and reunited with the nurse that helped him through such a hard time and gave him the will to live. During their reunion, he gave her a beautiful plaque.

Maybe I'm just an old softie (okay, not that old) but I have always enjoyed the "Lost Love" segments. It's really heartwarming to see love ones reunited (sometimes after decades of being apart). I guess I have several favorites...the two men who served together in Vietnam and were later reunited in Hawaii, the woman whose much older husband made her give up their son (I think his name was Buddy), the woman who was a migrant worker during the depression and gave her daughter up for adoption. She wrote a letter to the adoption agency saying something like "I don't mean to bother you but it would just mean so much if I could have a picture of my baby." Anyway, years later the mother and daughter were reunited but by that time the mother was in failing health. There were also a lot of reunited sibling segments that were really interesting too.

After watching almost every episode of UM (some several times), I can honestly say that none of the lost love segments remotely interested me.

Maybe Im just not very sentimental or I suffer from some other character defiency but I never could get excited about watching two people reunite.

I like the onw where there were a bunch of kids who took care of themselves in a cold cabin in Colorado(?) due to neglect and were all seperated and adopted out but thanks to UM they were all reunited, well, all but one I believe.

That would be my favorite. The last time I saw that one I noticed at the bottom of the screen there was a typed message that said the veteran had passed away. I'm glad he found the nurse before he died. I'm not much of a LL fan, but that segment made them worthwhile, I thought.

About a month ago I caught an episode where they showed a LL segment I liked and hadn't seen since it first aired. It was about a family where the father became a violent alcoholic and killed his wife at her work after she left him. The kids were spread out afterwards. Over the years they had reunited, but they were missing one sibling. I was glad to see they found him.

It would be nice if I could type out a message and do it right the first time and not have to go back in to edit it.

Gordon Page. A story a little too close to home. http://www.autisticselfadvocacy.org if you or someone you know is autistic -- don't let it become like what happened to Gordie.

The little German girl who was hated by her family, created a hideout in some underground caves in the forest outside of town, later hid some Allied Soldiers there and managed to connect them with the underground scant minutes before she was picked up by the Nazis. She was looking for the soldiers she'd saved.

There was a Russian lady, I believe her name was Farazahd. The daughter of a Jewish dad and a Moslem mother. Dad had another daughter by a former marriage to a Jewish lady, and they were close like full sisters. They didn't do very well in Depression-age America and Mom committed suicide in the river, taking with her a baby she'd just had, Fatimad. Now the lady was looking for her half-sister who had been adopted by Orthodox Jewish relatives who wouldn't take her because she was part Moslem.

[This was Farezat Thormat Abdokov. Probably the best place to send any info you have is to write to the Jewish Standard which published an article on this in 2006.]

Joan Gay Croft.

The elderly black man who wandered away saying he'd meet his wife's bus when it came in, and was never seen again -- only his car was found.

The little girl whose only clue to her father was a photo of "Susan and I in Hugo" and the fact that when he gave her a doll, he suggested she name it "Sweet Sue." Susan turned out to be a sister and they did find each other.

[This is the story of Virginia Burns and her search for her half-sister Susan King. "Susan was Virginia's father Joe's child from a previous marriage, and after her parents had separated in 1946, Susan departed with her mother. Virginia was born a short time later. For years, when Virginia saw pictures of her father with a small child, she assumed that it was of her. However, Joe claimed that it was not her but was the daughter of her mother's friend. After Joe died, however, Virginia's mother revealed that her father had been previously married and that the baby in the picture was her long-lost sister Susan and she began searching for her sister. She found a picture that said "Susan and I in Hugo" which is where Joe lived in 1942. She learned that Joe fell in love with a woman named Diana, whose mother owned the cafe that he was working at. She now knew that Diana was Susan's mother, and that the two ran away before Susan was born. However, they divorced in 1946, and Joe later met Dolly, Virginia's mother, and they then had her." "Solved. Moments after the story ran, Susan's ex-husband watching the segment called the phone center then notified Susan directly. Susan had been likewise been looking for her relatives since she had turned twenty-one. Virginia and Susan were over-joyed to have been reconnected and have since been reunited." Man, this is why I love Lost Loves.]

Indian children taken away from their parents and given to Anglo foster families - - this is a hot issue in the Western US and Canada, where these kids are called "lost birds" and there's a society to reunite them with their families and tribes, something it didn't mention on the show.

Nicki and Charita, the little Afro-American girls who met in the hospital. Charita apparently had uterine cancer and could never have kids. Upon learning this Nicki promised Charita could help raise any children she herself had. Nicki's real name was LaHarriet Wade. Charita's last name was Harding. They did find each other, and Charita became the godmother to Nicki's daughter.

A young Afro-American girl finds she's adopted, and the whole story comes out; her parents couldn't afford to raise her, she was adopted by a couple in town, who took her to a restaurant every Sunday so her real parents, who worked there, could see her.

There was another one about Afro-American sisters who grew up thinking they were cousins because one was adopted out. "Dolores Wynn was the daughter of Glenn and Ramona Wynn. She was best friends with Irene Love, the adopted daughter of Forrest and Minnie Love. When Irene discovered years later she had been adopted, she learned that the Wynns were her biological parents and that Dolores was her sister. The Loves had dinner at Clifton's Restauraunt often so that the Wynns could see their daughter as often as possible. The Wynns subsequently moved away and they lost contact with the Loves. Irene has since made an effort to try and track down the best friend and sister she loves so much."

The cinematography on the flashbacks for these stories, particularly the Depression-era ones, is haunting and softly beautiful. I'd like to know who the actors are.

This was the first um story I saw that was solved, I was at a bar, just me and the bar lady, nothing to do but have a beer and watch tv, Unsolved Mysteries, the story of Nicki's search for Charita. Then for the first time I saw that word, UPDATE! I was 49 at the time and as I watched the reunion, and the christening, tears were streaming down my face. This was embarrassing, Me a 49 year old man getting teary eyed over this mush (no offence.) Then the commercial came on I had to think fast, I told the barlady " Gee I must be coming down with hey fever." Then she turned around wiping her eyes saying "Yeah me too.
