Yes of course I know you, I'm going round to Kevin's in the morning to drop off his Christmas card I'll get his phone number for you,bye the way I forgive you for dropping me in that puddle to tell you the truth I can't for the life of me remember it happening! MG

 

Your nickname fooled me big time there MG. Give Kevin my very best regards. I hope to speak to him soon.

Hi recall the Howsons. I correspond regularly with Tony Jepson and his wife, Jean. Tony Strange died when he was 19. He lived opposite me when I was a youngster.

Brian Godfrey lives in St Tropez in South of France.

 

Fraid not Gwyn. Tony Strange was a good friend of mine for the tragic short time that I knew him.

If you know Tony Jepson I would imagine you knew Keith Fairfax and older brother John.

Hi Brian, of course I know Keith Fairfax and John Fairfax. Keith lives now on Warminster Road. He was my neighbour for thirty years.

The headteacher when I started there in 1953 was Mr Aizelwood. Mr Darley came later. Mr Edwards was my form teacher in J3 ad J4 - he became headteacher at Owler Lane. Steven Garbutt was in my year. he lived on Little London Road. Raymond Oakley and Mick Grant are a couple of years younger. I chat with Mick on FB.

I would be nice if some of the ex-Meersbrook Bank pupils from that time period made contact through this forum MG
