No, it wasnt, but her surname was Bleach (I think Albience is a bit near to Albino so it sounds funny, you have this picture of a very pale girl with white hair!!!! pmsl!!) Clare x |

Major - that's his real name! I was speaking to his daughter (who is 97) and asked if it was for real and she said yes! Imagine going through life as a child with that name! Vonny |
