Andrew Thornley of Campbellton put a message in a bottle, threw it into the ocean and hoped and dreamed that someone would find it. He was a Grade 5 student at Greenwood Academy. On the note, he wrote about living on a farm and about all the animals that surrounded him. Nearly three decades later, Andrew Park of Scotland tracked him down to say he had found his message-in-bottle. Thornley is not in Grade Five anymore, but he still lives on a farm. And CBC surprised Andrew Thornley by having Andrew Park secretly listening to the interview!
