Hi Mel,

Of course I knew 'Big Ann' sorry it must have been the Lunn that threw me,ah great days it's all changed now.Ray lives in Cyprus, Paphos we met up with him in May time last year, he has'nt altered much in fact he looked a little paler ? Hope you are ok, and thanks for the name recall its nice to remember the names & sometimes recall faces to match.

Take Care, Ciao Ian

Hi Ian theres another two here;Jeff Keeton,Frank (Matt)Dillion the painter.Yes Im ok and retired now,but still riding the bikes,how about you?m

[adnil 10]

Mel,

Frank used to live at Regent court flats untill he died, and Mike Johnson, we see fairly regulary at Meadow Hall, (M&S) in fact I think he lives there ! Gordon's wife now lives down Lincolnshire somewhere, You mentioned Roy Allsop, do you remember his son IAN he worked in the Engineers , well when Roy died Ian, after a while emigrated to Tromso in Norway , Brrrrrr ! too cold for me I like the sun on my back , by all accounts he loves it he's married now with (I think ) a couple of children .

I don't want to say anymore cos all the people we know seem to be snuffing it ! If you see me around give us a shout (LOUD ) cos I'm deaf.

Ciao Ian
