Hi Linda, hope you are well, havent heard from you since my Mum Jean passed away.

Glad to hear Kev is ok, how is Sharron?

I remember the days when you two used to work at the Baby Clinic at the top of Barnadiston Road and Jill and me used to come to meet Mum from school.

Jill is now a granny as our Katie has a two and a half yr old called Isabelle.

Hi Robert

I think of your mum often. We had some fun times together. Sharon is fine and still living in York. She has a two year old grandson. Say hello to Jill for me. Hope you are all well. X

I remember Miss Cocking as head of the infants but in the early 60's .. ie 62, it was Mr Saxon who was head of the juniors. He was a well built bloke probably in his 60's with dark rim glasses. I remember Mrs Machin and everybody remembers Mr Ellis. Good 'ol days .... Kevin
