Stan Lavill is my brother. He's living in Meresbrook, has done since he married

a lass called Sandra, who unfortubately died a few years ago. I'm two years younger than Stan. My name is Janet. I remember the names Anita Guest, Elaine Rawlinson but your name is not familiar to me. Stan as I remember was a good dancer. Rock n roll! I was too. Danced often with him. Wish those times were back. Great times!! Do you remember Deys Ballroom on Pitsmoor road? Roxy's at Page Hall was another great night out. You must know many people that I know too. I could go on and on. Cheers.

I loved playing table tennis etc. I'm still in touch with some of them although sadly some of them have passed away.
