I'm looking for a long lost aquaintance. I was in the Navy from 1982 until 2003 when I retired. From June-July 1983, I went to Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, Colorado. While there, I met someone named Amy. She worked at Showbiz Pizza somewhere there in the Denver area. I believe she lived in Aurora. She was very talented and had two professional parents. I believe she went to Minnesota to an "arts" school.
Because I was in the Navy, her parents never really liked me but her and I hit it off for a very short relationship while I was there. After she went to school in Minnesota, we lost touch. I moved to Virginia, and several other military installations from there. I was 18 at the time and she was 17. I believe she also went by the name "Sydney" and her last name (if I remember correctly, and it's probably not spelled correctly) was Lehroo.
As I understand it, one night she got in an accident at the school, and wound up in the hospital. After she left the hospital, she called me one night when I was in Virginia. She explained that her parents had kept my letters from her, and that she wanted to see "where we stood." Unfortunately, I was just about to deploy, and back then there was no internet or email, so I just decided to let her go on with her life.
If she sounds familiar to anyone, or anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative. I will check back here periodically. Thank you... I'm just looking in on an old friend, not trying to rekindle a relationship. If you know her and want to pass this on before passing any information to me, tell her it's "Buggy" checking up on her.
I didn't think it would be the right spelling. It might not even be her real last name. As I said, I knew here as Amy... but for all her acting stints (she did a couple commercials she had told me), she used the name Sydney. I was hoping all the back ground information (17 in 1983, lived in Denver/Auroro, Colorado, worked at that time in the Showbiz (Showtime?) Pizza (equivalent to Chuck E. Cheeze theme), that her parents were professionals (psychatrist and psychologist), that she then went to school in Minnesota, etc.) would jog someone's memory on knowing her.
Thank you all for trying. I guess I was just hoping against the odds (I'm not normally a romantic). It would probably take someone actually going to ShowBiz Pizza Place (of which most were converted to Chuck E. Cheese) and finding employer records, or someone who went to school in that year and had a yearbook. Or the absolutely extreme odds that someone reading this knew here and her parents and lived in that area who could say, "I know someone who meets that description... it sounds like...." But again, I was just hoping against the odds.
Thank you all for your time. There are many more people on this forum who have greater need to find people than me.
Thanks again!
