Sheffield pen pal celebrate 50 years of friendship
The pair have written to each other every week since Helen pulled her name from a hat in a school classroom in 1973.
Caroline said at first she did not want to write to the then 13-year old Helen, as she thought her name was too English. "I said, 'oh I don't want this name because Helen is an English name can I put it back?'," Caroline said."All my friends said, 'oh, I've got Ingelle, I've got Birgitta'. 'Well I've got Helen so I will write to this one'."Over the years they visited each other and sent gifts at Christmas and on birthdays.The pair are marking the anniversary by meeting in South Yorkshire.
