I am not certain if this should be a new thread? But because it relates to ex pupils I will post it Here.

Did anyone from Woodbourne Rd. School achieve their dream?

Why do I pose this question? Well Sunday past I spent a lot of time on the forum, something I do rarely but when I go on the forum I go through just about every topic, obviously Woodbourne Rd. is my favourite but there does not appear to be any one of my age group contributes. I was there from 1945 to 1950 when I left to go to central technical school.

Back to my original question, I remember a class photograph when we where being urged to purchase it, I think by a Mr. Kelly who said “ you need to buy this, save it and in years to come you can look at it and see who as been to prison and who is now driving around in a posh car”, I so wish I still had that photo.

For my part at least since moving to Spain 23 years ago things have gone pretty well for me, I drive a s type jaguar, live in a nice 4 bed house and own various other houses here in Spain.

But I still work obviously for myself, I have one Spanish worker, Javier who is also a friend and so it is more a hobby than work, the point I am trying to get round to is, when have you achieved your dream? I still have a “bucket list”, so do you belive that you have achived your dream?

Look forward to your posts.

Thanks for the reply cazza77 - My brother was best friends with Glen Smith until he went to live abroad. He managed to track him down many years later via the internet I believe. Maybe by friends reunited, I'm not 100% on that though.
