My parents met while working at the Liverpool Echo in the 1950s, so perhaps it\u2019s no surprise that a newspaper eventually became part of the story too \u2014 ink is clearly in the blood. <\/p>\n<p>After our wedding last August in NYC and a celebration with friends and family in Liverpool earlier this month, Gwen and I headed to the Lake District for a mini-moon and tried to track down the location ourselves. AI confidently sent us to three different hotels \u2014 all wrong \u2014 before a wonderful receptionist called Rachael posted the photo into a local Facebook group and solved the mystery within hours. <\/p>\n<p>On our way home we visited Berners Close Hotel, now apartments, where a resident called Ken walked us right to the exact spot where my parents had stood nearly 70 years earlier and took a new version of the photo with Gwen and me. A huge thank you to everyone in Grange who helped us piece together a little bit of family history.<\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday to David Porter and Joanne Lotsko.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ad.broadstreetads.com\/click\/1359191\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1359191.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did someone forward you this email?
