Hi Tatty dumps

My sister Joans daughter reads the forum and has told me my sister did work on the buses so I oweyou an apology. We live opposite Rollet Close , when did you bump into my sister at the market traders. Joan will be 72 in June and lives on the Beighton estate and rides a mobility car.

 

Regards Betty.

 

Hi Betty - I bumped into Joan about 30 years ago and I can't even remember where the dinner was held. I was surprised that we both recognized each other she hadn't changed much. I really enjoyed chatting with her. It's funny to thinkmof her as 72, she was always fit. I qualify for a mobility car as well but I am unable to drive and none of my children live in Sheffield. Please give her my regards when you see her . I was with a bloke called Fred at the dinner and she knew him as well. All the best Mavis

Is that school still open? I believe that my old school Stand House as now closed though it's still standing. I must go up soon.

[hazel 11]

Yes I believe Pipworth Road is still thriving as a school, some of the others will be able to tell you if not.
