Simone Simone was born in Adelaide on the 1st May 1973

She and Geoff did not have any contact until August 1996 when Simone rang from Holland
This was just a brief phone call, and it was not until 2003 that contact was again established
The Story
On Wednesday 26th November 2003, Geoff was using the 'Google Search Engine' while browsing the internet
Searching under the name "Roneberg", a site came up that was written in Dutch
This site was a Message/Discussion Board for Siamese cat owners, and Simone had participated in the Forum
Everything was written in Dutch, but Simone's name, along with an email address, were listed
Not knowing who was going to receive the email, or even if the address was still current, Geoff sent this:-
----------Hello
----------Is this Simone Roneberg???
----------Thanks
And this reply came back:-
----------Yes, this is Simone Roneberg
----------How are you????
----------Saw your home page
----------Nice fotos
----------Don"t really know what to say now, but hope to hear from soon
----------Greetings from Simone Roneberg and a Siamese cat JOEY
The family had remained in Adelaide before moving to Queensland in 1976, and then returned to Holland in 1987
Simone now lives in Uden
(Saturday 28th August 2004 - phone call from Stella and Simone - Simone has moved from Uden - do not know her new address)

Simone works in a restaurant, The Tante Pietje
(Saturday 28th August 2004 - refer to above phone call - flat and work details no longer applicable))
Joey is part of the family, and Simone has had him for fifteen years
