Form1 - User enters name in a textbox and the OnChange method issues Server.Transfer('Form2.aspx')

Form2 - Shows a label with "Hello "+username and two buttons, one to go back to Form1 and another to go to Form3

The Form2.Page_Load method is

if (!IsPostBack && Request.UrlReferrer.AbsolutePath == "/Hello/Form1.aspx")
{
Form1 sourcepage = (Form1) Context.Handler;
Label1.Text = "Hello "+ sourcepage.TextBox1.Text;
}

Form3 - Shows other info

When I return from Form3, Label1 is empty.
How can I keep the current value in Form2.Label1?

Thanks,
Larry
