Whitehall. Pa. Daily 3-5; Sat. 9-2; Phone 433-7012 CHUCK ZOVKO The Morning Call Millard Badman hugs his sister Lorna (left) and her daughter Marianne. Two-week search reunites pair separated for decades By CATHI BERNECKER Morning Call Intern Millard Badman of Long Beach, found difficulty trying to "reach out and touch someone" by telephone because he had no idea where his "someone" was living.

The former Bethlehem resident traveled more than 3,000 miles to the Lehigh Valley two weeks ago to find his sister, Lorna (Badman) Buich Coffin, whom he had not seen in 29 years. With only two days remaining in his visit, Badman went to his former church, Grace Evangelical Lutheran in Bethlehem, where he found a woman who recognized his sister's name. Throughout his two week search, Badman said, "Perfect strangers tried to help me, but I was always pursuing the wrong name." Badman did not know his sister had remarried, and he was given the wrong name, "Kaufman." Shortly before lunch Tuesday, Badman was reunited with his sister at the Trexlertown Mall Miniature Golf Course, where Mrs. Coffin works full-time. Reminiscing on the emotional reunion, Badman said he would have recognized her anywhere because "she looks like my mother." Mrs.

Coffin admitted she wouldn't have been able to recognize her brother because "I remembered him as a thin man with blond hair," she said. Relieved at finding her last living immediate relative, Mrs. Coffin said, "I didn't know he was alive, and he didn't know I was alive." Badman and Mrs. Coffin were separated in 1953 when they were both in their 30s. He went to San Diego, and she remained in the Valley.

He is a section manager of parts sales and shipping for McDonald-Douglas Aircraft Long Beach. Mrs. Coffin resides in Mayo's Trailer Court, Trexlertown, with her daughter, Marianne Buich.

Not quite sure what to do, the uncle and his 30-year-old niece shook hands and said hello. Badman, who will celebrate his 61st birthday Oct. 25th, has been traveling through familiar areas and eating food familiar to him 30 years ago such as scrapple, shoo-fly pie and clams during his stay in the Valley. He said he has ordered five shoo from a restaurant to take with him to California. "People there don't believe there is such a thing," he said.

"There are lots of changes, but a lot of things are the same," commented Badman. He has ventured to old, familiar places the pavilion at Saylor's Lake near Wind Gap and the Sun Inn, his former boarding house. In addition to his reunion with his sister, Badman has tried contacting friends and old acquaintances in the area, in one case learning an old friend had died. He said the Bethlehem Area Chamber of Commerce was extremely helpful in his search as were strangers he had met in his travels. The separation from his sister started in 1939 when Badman, then age 15, and Lorna, then 14, were orphaned by the of their parents.

Badman then transferred from Liberty High to Moravian Prep School so he could work nights at Bethlehem Steel Corp. Mrs. Coffin remained in the Bethlehem Area School District, graduating in 1941. The last she heard from her brother, Mrs. Coffin said.

was when he moved to San Diego in 1953. Badman lost contact with his sister while she was a waitress at a restaurant on Main Street in Bethlehem. With distance growing between them daily, the brother and sister fell out of touch, not able to reach each other until this week. Sometimes it is not as easy as picking up a phone and calling a relative, but now Mrs. Coffin and Millard Badman will have that luxury.

They exchanged names. phone numbers and addresses Tuesday, never wanting to lose each other again, especially for 29 years.
