hi i went to bents green school and remember neil grain very quite boy and think u right about where he lived

Hi Glyn, You ok? I left in 74 but do remember Neil. Dont know what became of him. Bout time we started thinking about another reunion?!, Any idea when BG is reopening? Mike.

Just remebered there was a Jessie Grain at BGS at the same time but can't remember if they were related.

hi i remember jessie too we went skating with school on fri afternoon to queens rd we where partners at skates

Hi maggione, we must know each other because I went skating at the same time too!!

Yep, just had it confirmed that Jessie was Neil's sister. Brenda Seddon had a huge envelope full of photos of pupils going back donkeys years, I just hope that they have survived the rebuild and not been chucked by some wally.

hi am margaret bradbury was daily for few years then was resident with pat norton diane jubb and pamala nicholson although they where about 10 months to a year older than me the boys resident john anderson neil froddsham john wayne cant remember others

Hi Maggie, I was trying to guess which Maggie you were! I could remember yourself, Maggie Shakespeare and Maggie Hornsby. I'm Mike Spencer, Don't know if you remember me. We had a reunion a couple of years ago and Pam was there. She is still in touch with Diane, I remember you and Diane were always together. What are you up to these days? Hope life has been good for you. Not sure if it's true but the word is that John Anderson died a little while ago, very sad. Mike.

hi mike yes i remember you very well and remember the other maggies too i was sorry to hear that john anderson may have died i was in contact with him on friends reunite a few years ago he was a youth worker living in london we lost contact did many of the old crowd come to the reunion ? the more you talk about people the more you tend to remember lol i wonder if anyone knows about john for sure

Thanks for your reply Maggie. I don't know who actually found out about John but it was mentioned at the reunion. I think Pam Nicholson may know more , she is on friends reunited. It was a reasonable turnout considering people are spread far and wide, Dave Hinchliffe, Mike Morris, Carole Higgins and her sister, Susan Tame, Glyn Mitchell, Pam, and a few from before even my time!!, Brenda Seddon also came but she has since been quite Ill, Pam keeps in touch with her.We will arrange another one next year when the school re-opens. It was prize giving day when we had the reunion and the head invited us to present the prizes - what a strange but lovely feeling that was!!. Mike.
